The city is a vast world for most young people, a jungle of opportunities, wealth, and desires, and I don't like to go out during the day, and I always subconsciously feel that I am engaged in a dark career.

In fact, this has nothing to do with light, and Lord Yama never discriminates when he accepts people's lives. I just think that the night makes people feel more comfortable, and it makes it easier for people to see the truth, maybe I also think that the lights are the reality of this world.

I would also choose to go out at night, like a second-rate kid who has nothing to do, squatting on the side of the road to watch beautiful women, or hiding in some place with an open line of sight to drink, or sitting in a food stall until the middle of the night and arguing with the boss like now.

He's an interesting guy with a big greasy face and blackened hands, and he's happy to talk about it, and he's funny. He is like all the most ordinary people in this society, a little down, but also happy and real.

Today's business seems to be good, his face is red from the charcoal fire, his eyes are still shining when he sits down, and he excitedly rubs his big hands full of charcoal shavings. I looked up at him and raised my glass at him, and he took a sip and drank the wine in the glass, grinning at me: "Still drinking?"

I didn't answer but asked: What, there is a happy event?

"Uh-huh. He smiled even more.

"What a happy event, I also want to ask for a glass of wine. I smiled and lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

He wiped his face with a towel around his neck that couldn't distinguish the color, and opened his mouth to say, "Isn't this an old girl's admission letter down, it's not easy for us to be a college student from a hard-working family, the girl has been working hard since she was a child, and she has been working hard for a few years, and as soon as my big girl graduates, I can also get rid of it." The boss said plainly, but his eyes sparkled with pride as if he had won the jackpot.

"Congratulations, it's good to have a hope, come and pay tribute to you again. I lifted the glass and handed it to him, and he took another gulp.

"It's getting late, boss, settle the bill. With that, I took the money out of my pocket and put all five red tickets in my pocket on the table. "The rest is my courtesy. He stood up, lit a cigarette, and raised his leg to leave.

The boss grabbed me, "Big brother, this can't be helped, put it away, what is this." ”

"There are many places to collect the money, and there are guests over there again, so let's get busy." I shook my boss's hand, turned around and waved my hand, took a puff on my cigarette, and walked forward.

It was late at night, and the street, which was not too remote, was gradually quieting, and the road kept moving forward, and there was a turn in the ten minutes, and just as I was about to turn around, I heard a noise from the food stalls just now, and I looked back, robbery, I took a step back and stood still, in broad daylight, oh I forgot, it was night.

Although it was late at night, there were actually not many people in the food stalls, only five robbers, at this moment the people around began to break up quickly, the five robbers had surrounded the boss just now, my footsteps seemed to be considering whether I should rush over to help, or to say righteousness and bravery, two seconds of hesitation I began to run forward quickly, my eyes were staring at those people, I hadn't run so fast for a long time, but under the reflection in the distance, the dagger in the hands of the robbers reached forward, a trace of blood, which seemed to make my eyes bloom.

The boss had already fallen slowly, and with only 200 meters left, I felt very weak, and my steps slowed down. The white blade went in and the red blade came out, and several robbers were stunned for a moment, screaming and running away, and the banknotes torn up with the boss were everywhere. It's still too late in the end.

As the robbers fled, the people in the street began to gather, and in a minute or two they gathered in a circle, and people craned their necks to watch, just the right distance. Look at the excitement, I gently pushed away the people in front of me, a young man seemed to be very dissatisfied with the snort, provocatively looked at me, seemed to blame me for blocking him something interesting, I looked at him, did not speak and walked straight to the boss lying on the ground, leaned down, looked, unfortunately a knife killed, the knife pierced the liver, the boss vomited blood in his mouth and began to vomit blood blisters, his eyes widened, and finally stopped struggling, holding a few coins in his hand.

I closed his eyes with my hand and muttered, wouldn't it be nice to give them well, do you have to be so stupid? Don't you die? The people around me gathered more and more, as if the people on this street were concentrated here, the inner and outer three floors made me feel a little breathless, I straightened up, and the siren sounded harshly and faintly in the distance.

Suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd, which seemed to be dispersed vigorously, and a heart-rending cry pierced my eardrums, and a figure struck me, what kind of power was that, as if it had hit my heart all at once, and it turned out that despair was such a force.

Dad, Dad....... The cry was right next to me, and the grief made the thin silhouette tremble, and suddenly I felt like something was broken and something was trembling with the girl's trembling.

"It's obviously a stranger, how can you ......" "Is this the price of life and death, didn't you already know it......" "It's commonplace, it's all like this......" My heart seemed to be confused for a moment.

At this time, the crying suddenly stopped, and the girl next to me suddenly stood up straight, but it was as high as my shoulders, and her eyes were red and staring at the people around her, "Are you just going to watch like this, watching my dad die, watching them escape?!"

This sentence was shouted sharply, as if it was torturing all the people present, and it was also torturing the city. She repeated it over and over again, screaming loudly, and this moment made me suddenly feel very sad, oh city.

The police dispersed the crowd of onlookers, pulled up one cordon after another, and the boss was packed into body bags and carried to the car as final evidence, whether he was alive or dead.

The girl was taken aside, and I was also recorded as a confession, and after a short time after saying the sentence that we will solve the case as soon as possible as a comfort to the girl, the flashing lights whistled away again. It was just me and the girl, a pool of bright red blood, and people still pointing in the distance.

The fence that has been pulled up looks cold under the blowing of the city's early morning wind. I stood next to her for a long time, "I'm sorry. "Thank you". We spoke at the same time, and we could never open our mouths again.

I took out a cigarette, lit it, turned around and walked slowly into the darkness and back to where I had come. The girl seemed to hesitate for a moment, but slowly followed me, and after walking like this for a while, I extinguished my cigarette, and turned back to ask her. "Can you give me a cigarette?" asked me when I turned around and opened my mouth before I could speak.

I didn't say a word and threw the box in my pocket to her, she took out a lighter and a cigarette from the box, lit it a few times, she took a tentative puff, and soon coughed, she returned the cigarette case to me as if she was competing, and coughed loudly while smoking the cigarette hard.

I took the cigarette and lit one, took a deep breath, and let out a long sigh, "If it's okay." Went first. I said to her. "There's no one at home. She whispered. "I don't have it at home, but I still have to live. ”

"I didn't think about dying, I just didn't know how to live. ”

"I'll always find a way to live, and it won't be long. ”

"And how long do you forget after you lose it. ”

"If you're talking about forgetting......" I took a heavy drag on my cigarette. "Forgot ......"

"Is it really okay, forget it all, or you don't dare to remember. She didn't seem satisfied. I didn't know how to answer, and all of a sudden fell silent. After a long time, I said, "Take care, it's cold at night, go home early." ”

"I'm scared......" she whispered.

I turned around, didn't speak, and strode into the darkness, this world doesn't need mercy, it doesn't give people breathing space, I can't stop, I don't have the right to give warmth, for this city this will soon become a small thing that no one cares about, even if it is like the sky is falling for the person concerned, everyone has no sense of existence, or it has nothing to do with the outside world.

When I got home and closed the door, I let out a long breath, like the day I ended my life with my own hands. I also wondered why I ended up in such a profession at the beginning, I couldn't find a more suitable reason than to survive, and it didn't seem that the darkness chose me, maybe I had no choice.

And this most primitive trade has gradually made me feel at ease, the old poor ghost once said that life is no different to the killer than the meat in the vegetable market, and this city has such a vegetable market.

I was noncommittal, and asked cautiously when he was smoking a dry cigarette, "Then we are also meat?" The old poor ghost's hand shook and slapped me, and I couldn't dodge it when I dodged, and the porcelain slapped on my head, and I bared my teeth to hear him say lightly, "We will all die too." ”

The city is like that, under the glamorous and glittering exterior, there is a complex of countless ugly and bloody things.

The flame of the cigarette butt in the darkness was flickering and flickering, and finally was snuffed out by me in the palm of my hand, the scorching heat made me frown, I let go of my hand, took out my mobile phone from my pocket and dialed Mousse's number, at two o'clock in the morning, the phone prompt tone beeped ten times, and an irritated voice came from there, "No matter who you are, if you can't give me a reasonable reason, you're out of luck... ”

"It's me. I interrupted his curse. I know how important sleep is to him, he's a tech guy who's been selling news in the city for a long time, has been suffering from insomnia for a long time, and it's a luxury to be able to sleep quietly for two hours a day, it's obvious that he's just asleep, but at the moment I need him to wake up.

He was silent for a moment, and I heard the sound of a big gulp of water, and then his tone calmed down, "Something?"

"Yes, I want to know the whereabouts of a few people. ”

"Send it to me later and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. ”

"Hmm. ”

Hanging up the phone, I sent him the location of the incident, with a sentence, the old price, and then settle the account.

As a news monger, most people know about his existence, because they know too much, many people want him to die, and because they know too much, more people want him to live. He often laughs at himself: I can live to this day mainly because of four words, and it is convenient for others. Everyone is too lazy to do these things, so I have to work hard and eat with my mouth.

It was not difficult for him to retrieve all the surveillance probes in the city to find these people. About ten minutes after the phone screen lit up, I picked up the phone screen and wrote, Temporarily avoid xx hotel, 325.326. When crossing the line, you need to be cautious, and it is recommended to change hands.

The front is the place, and the back may be a piece of advice, perhaps he is reminding me that the code is more reliable than the justice of the moment.

I don't have any obligation to this city, and I shouldn't have the so-called blood when I collect money and do things. In the final analysis, justice is just like the declaration of a pyramid scheme, and the righteous words are illusory.
