One day in mid-December, late at night. The Pearl City police received a panicked report:

… The Third Ring Road... China World Summit Building...... Roof... Children of the Night... Here it comes!

……

At the end, the man added, "Come and save me!" ”

The police officer just wanted to ask "how do you know", when he heard the three words of the child of the night, his eyes suddenly widened, and he hurriedly asked who the other party was, however, the phone was cut off, and no matter how the police officer "fed" him, there was no response.

……

The streets of Pearl City's Third Ring Road are covered with scattered light snow, the temperature is cold, and passers-by are extinct, except for the lonely evening lights.

The roof of the China World Summit Wing, a layer of slippery snow melts.

A gust of winter wind blew, and a young figure appeared here as if out of thin air, like a science fiction movie.

His dress did not match the environment: a high school uniform, white and wrinkled, and his economic conditions were not very good. Behind him, he was carrying a schoolbag, which even contained compulsory math and English reading comprehension. He looks like a good student and a young man.

His name is Lin Can, and he is a senior in high school. But none of his classmates knew that their Lin Can, who was not in good economic conditions and was often looked down upon and rarely noticed, had a name that could make the city panic, the Children of the Night.

The Child of the Night is not a nickname given to himself by Lin Can, although he has a bit of an anime character, he is not so naughty and willful.

This is an operational code set up by the Police's Serious Crime Unit this year. Because of several serial incidents, the murderer often chose to commit crimes at night, and came and went without a trace as if he was a non-human existence, so the experts of the serious crime team named the operation "Operation Nightchild". ”

Tonight, Lin Can has to do such a vote again, because he has encountered financial difficulties recently, and the old man Lin who adopted him owes a lot of money because of the orphanage he runs.

Now, Lin Can was dragging a huge sack in his hand, and the bag was lying on the ground, bulging, and moving. Apparently there was some living creature in it.

He bent down and slowly untied the strings from the sack...

The neon of the city extended his shadow into the darkness and melted......

"Whew".

Just opened a gap the size of a human head, a head, no, it's not elegant to say that. A pretty beautiful girl came out of the sack, gulping for a breath...

However, Lin Can was not at all pity for her beauty. Although this girl is beautiful, she is not the type he likes after all.

After a few seconds, the girl gasped for a few quick breaths and tried to turn her head to look at her captor, but was pressed against the cheek by a small but powerful hand.

"Don't look back, be honest, I'll let you live later."

……

Wow. There was a rush to go upstairs.

Hearing this, Lin Can slowly pressed the girl back into the bag. His eyes were as cold as ice and snow.

A middle-aged man with a big belly climbed up with a suffocating atmosphere, and his face was full of beads of sweat rolling when he was tired from winter.

Seeing the boy in school uniform, the middle-aged man was taken aback at first, he didn't expect the other party to be so young.

But he found that the other party was looking at him indifferently. The middle-aged man's eyes widened again and he drank: "Children of the Night, you are so despicable, you actually kidnapped my daughter, my daughter!" What did you do to her?! ”

Lin Can looked at him coldly and skimmed the bag beside him. The indifferent demeanor suddenly made the middle-aged man shudder.

"Just now, you called the police downstairs, right, I heard it. You may not know that I am a man who leaves a line in everything and never does it. You handed over all the money embezzled in your Swiss bank and then turned yourself in, I was going to let you go, but you made the same choice as the previous guys, all of them called the police before meeting, and caused me trouble, and my name as the child of the night is equivalent to your contribution, which is why God wants you to die, and you have to die. ”

The middle-aged man didn't expect Lin Can to know, he was so frightened that his body trembled, and he was busy pretending to be calm, and his years of experience in the old rivers and lakes told him to be calm! The other party may be testing him!

People live half their lives, and who doesn't have something to write a book.

The middle-aged man thinks about it, when he was young, he was pressed on the top of a twenty-story building like Guomao to be pushed down, and he was forced to admit whether he had betrayed others.

But this ...... The Children of the Night are not human at all! Does this kung fu work for him? Middle-aged men are worried about this.

The Children of the Night, both good and evil, are like Kidd, the monster thief in Detective Conan. Good things don't do it for no reason, and bad things don't meddle around. In short, whoever meets is unlucky.

Some people say that he is omnipotent in heaven and earth, and middle-aged people don't know if there is such a god.

However, most of the people he targets are not good people. For example, this middle-aged fat man is the director of the Pearl City River Management Bureau. In recent years, due to the large-scale mining of pearl materials, the river has been deformed, and the surrounding area has been greatly damaged, and the houses of the nearby fishermen's villages have been flooded. Coupled with the establishment of a gang of hooligans, violent intimidation of fishermen, and acting as a helper for the demolition and relocation office, the Children of the Night found him.

In the end, the river director still thought that Lin Can was cheating him. So he used the trick that he lived decades ago:

"I didn't call the police, I'm afraid you are testing me, don't worry, I said that if I came by myself, I came by myself. You let my daughter go, and I'll do whatever you want, what do you think? The middle-aged man said word by word with a tense face, making an awe-inspiring appearance that was very credible.

He also deliberately stuffed several words into the things that could be said in one sentence, in order to delay time, of course. Waiting for whom? Waiting for the police, of course.

What is the most terrible thing in people's hearts?

Of course it is unknown.

Before he saw Lin Can, the director was also scared to death, but when he saw him face-to-face, he was a little kid the size of a high school student, and he immediately committed the disease of contempt, thinking that it was not enough to take a snack and clean up a child.

"Well, it's good that you didn't call the police."

When Lin Can said this, the director breathed a sigh of relief and admired his correct judgment! At the same time, it deepened the disdain of adults for Lin Can.

"But...... You still have to die. Lin Can suddenly changed his words, startling the director.

"Why?!" The director shouted with his mouth wide open.

"I tricked you just now, if you don't report to the police, you will die, you can see what I look like, and you plan to go back alive? Come by yourself or by me. The Child of the Night sneered and asked him indifferently.

"I'll come... I'll do it myself..."The middle-aged man lowered his vocal cords. At this time, I also understood that the children of the night were obviously playing with themselves, and it would be naïve to promise that they would never say anything.

———— "I'll have you grandma!" ”

The middle-aged man suddenly became ruthless, took out the hidden pistol, aimed at the child of the night in the black hole, and said with a rampant smile: "I don't believe you can dodge the bullet, force the cub to go home and drink milk!" ”

"Oh, when you die, you still do superfluous things."

Lin Can smiled coldly, and his figure suddenly disappeared into the night, as if there was nothing.

It was pitch black and silent.

The director screamed in fright, "Ghost"!

Then pull the trigger, "Boom! "Three shots were fired in the air.

After the gunshots rang out, the smoke filled the air. The roof of the building returned to the silence of silence.

"People... What about people? ”

"I'm behind you." Lin Can sneered and patted him on the shoulder.

The middle-aged man shuddered violently and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, which was then he was really scared.

When did he teleport over? It seems that the rumors are not false, and the Children of the Night really have non-human powers, and they are over......

……

The next day's Pearl Morning Post, there was one more shocking news: the director of the municipal river bureau was found dead by sanitation workers in the early hours of this morning, and the body was thrown on the bank of the long river,...... At present, the police are involved in the investigation of the case......

All walks of life in Pearl City have set off an uproar, gathering around this matter, and there is a trend of mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building.

The official website of the Pearl City Public Security Bureau once again posted the work instructions on the homepage: Skynet is restored, and strict investigation will not be ...... Operation Nightchild will be carried out to the end!

……

On the way to school in Model No. 1 Middle School, an ordinary high school student in a school uniform passed by the newsstand, he glanced indifferently at the contents of the morning newspaper, and then put the mineral water he had just bought from it into his school bag.

The old newsstand owner, who couldn't talk enough all day long, looked for change, and said to the high school student passing by very well: "If you can catch an ass, their public security bureau is an incompetent deflated egg." yes, little brother, haha. The good high school student smiled slightly, ignoring the lonely old man.

In winter, the sun is lazy, and at this point the sky is not yet bright, and there is a gray night that stirs the fog.

He was just as ordinary as all the high school students around him who were walking to school with their school bags and school uniforms and breakfast on their backs.

The people next to him, the people next to him, the people next to him, no one knew who Lin Can was, and they didn't know what he did last night.

They are only busy with their studies, and they just need to live this light and watery life.

When I passed a corner, I saw a special Peugeot girl in a black down jacket standing there, she looked down at her watch from time to time as if she was waiting for someone.

Lin Can suddenly felt that his head was big, and he felt that he was going to take a detour, pretending to ignore it.

But as he walked, he suddenly smelled the fragrance of a girl in the air, and Lin Can couldn't help but slow down.

"Run, run, Lin Can."

The beautiful girl in a black down jacket called out to him from behind with a smile and slapped his bag hard. As a way to say hello.

Her name is Chen Zhu. Much prettier than the average girl. White skin, thin waist and long legs, love to laugh, but a little nagging. Lin Can has always guessed that she is a Virgo.

"Tap, does my schoolbag have a grudge against you? If you shoot it, you will pay me. Her approach made Lin Can's heart thump, and he sighed secretly how he didn't even have this concentration. Quickly calmed down and didn't look at her.

At this time, Lin Can seemed to be just an ordinary high school student.

"Lin Can, you are so annoying, I can shoot it badly." The girl pursed her lips angrily, kept up with Lin Can's pace, and scolded with a smile: "Are you scolding me as a female man in disguise?" How can I have so much strength, if I were really a woman, I would shoot you as if I was dead, so that you would know that you would damage me all day long. ”

"You're so long-winded, Master Xuewei, I'm going to be late soon. You're not afraid of being listed by the squad leader, he likes you and doesn't like me. I'll go first, goodbye. After Lin Can finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to her, but quickened his pace. Leave the puffing girl behind. The farther and farther you go......

"Don't you want to leave me today!"

Chen Zhu's physical strength was limited, and he couldn't keep up after walking a few quick steps.

"Hey, Lin Can! Feed...... Hum! Chen Zhu stomped his feet angrily, covered his chest with undulating breathing, and watched Lin Can's back go away with hatred.

And Lin Can didn't dare to stay for a long time, he knew that when she was around, it felt amazing. The heart can become very conflicted...

People from two worlds, why should there be an intersection. He sighed. I've noticed that I've been feeling a lot more recently. There is nothing in the world, and mediocre people disturb themselves.

When I arrived at the door of Class 4 of the third year of high school, the preparatory bell had just rang. Lin Can breathed a sigh of relief. Wiped the sweat from the palms of his hands on the wrinkled clothes on his body.

The class rules of the senior year of the model high school are very strict, and you will be fined if you are late. And Lin Can's current economic conditions are not good, he is an orphan and grew up in an orphanage.

Because of this, Lin Can has been subjected to a lot of cold eyes and ridicule since he was a child, but he is also used to it.

This has already let the police know that the famous Son of the Night is still a student, and he is still so miserable at school that he must be so shocked that he can't close his mouth.

Pearl City has a robust social security system. In addition to going to school, according to the benefits of the social security system, orphans under the age of eighteen each have dozens of yuan of pocket money per month, plus Old Man Lin also favors himself, so he ceded the money for the tooth sacrifice to Lin Canhua. However, Lin Can was reluctant to spend this money on being late.

Although the fine is contrary to the public knowledge of the education industry, no one has come out to blame it. As the saying goes, as long as you get results in the third year of high school, you can peel off a layer of skin.

It was already seven o'clock, and the classroom was already full, and the students were all eating English words for breakfast.

Sometimes Lin Can also has the feeling of Zhuang Zhoumengdie, not knowing which one is him, or duckweed wandering in different worlds.

As soon as Lin Can sat down, it didn't take long for him to hear the panting sound of the beautiful student committee behind him.

"Lin Can, you pig's head. I'm! ”

The position of the school committee girl was behind Lin Can, and as soon as she sat down, she took a breath on her stomach, picked up a ballpoint pen and poked him in the arm viciously.

"Shhhh What are you doing..."Lin Can's arm shrank suddenly, and he gasped, it hurt so much. At first glance, there was indeed an extra black spot on his arm.

The girl was relieved and proudly put away the ballpoint pen, as if she had completed a masterpiece. The corners of his mouth rose and snorted: "Teach you to dare not wait for me next time." ”

Lin Can was speechless and smiled bitterly. Don't dare to fight back.

After a pause, Chen Zhu suddenly asked: "According to incomplete statistics from scientists, every seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy has fantasized about having a girl accompany him on the way to school. Lin Can, do you have one? ”

"Which scientist said that?" Lin Can stroked his arm and said helplessly.

"Scientist Chen Zhu said." The girl looked at him with wide, sparkling eyes.

"You just say yourself." Lin Can shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Chen University Committee, are you tired of waiting for me to go to school all morning?" I'm tired of looking at it. You don't care about the task of helping your classmates, won't you? Concentrate on reviewing. If you fall from Tsinghua to Lanxiang in delay, I will be deeply guilty. ”

"Cut, who am I so tired for, I used to get up at six o'clock every day, but now I have to get up at half past five to wait for you, but you still don't appreciate it, hum." Chen Zhu's small face parted, and he pointed at Lin Can dissatisfied: "In the words of you boys, you are just pretending to be forced." ”

"Well... Good... I'm pretending. I wish me to be struck by lightning soon, and you won't have to be so tired. Lin Can rolled his eyelids and took out the words in the English book.

During this time, Chen Zhu would wait for Lin Can to go to school every morning.

Lin Can was very shameless at first thinking that Chen Zhu was chasing him, but later found out that he was wishful thinking and thinking too much. In fact, the situation is very embarrassing. Chen University Committee has excellent character and learning, and is beautiful, and he is recognized as a class flower, but he is instructed by the school to take care of his classmates......

Recently, some parents have reported the criticism of the model high school: learning is dead, there is no popularity, there is no affection between classmates, and the third year of high school is a collective sprint stage, but at this time there are even many problems, such as some parents say that when their children ask their classmates questions, they get the wrong answers that are deliberately misleading.

After the school leaders knew, they attached great importance to it and immediately guided the work, and the Youth League Department set off a policy of support from top to bottom after review to build a harmonious and warm learning campus. The content of the policy is that each of the top 10 students in the class should correspond to a student with average grades who hovers around 30 and is expected to sprint for an undergraduate degree in study and life.

Chen Zhu thinks this measure is very good. As a member of the study committee in the class, it is natural to take the lead in completing the task. She is also a kind-hearted girl who hopes to help a classmate improve.

However, the first object of support assigned by the teacher to Chen Zhu was the most aggrieved by Chen Zhu.

That guy is a lewd little fat man who often looks at Chen Zhu with an aggressive gaze, which makes Chen Zhu really feel disgusted, and he tries every means to find a teacher to shirk this tragic incident.

So, Chen Zhu picked and chose in the class, which boy was more pleasing to the eye? She found that Lin Can was a very special person in the class. I don't have many friends, I don't talk much, and most of the time I'm quite silent. There is no temper and no annoyance. Empty like a blank sheet of paper that doesn't exist.

She had seen his information card in the teacher's office, and she also knew that Lin Can's living conditions were not good, and the clothes were poor. She thought that Lin Can's character was caused by the environment since she was a child, so the motherhood in the girl's heart immediately overflowed, so she took the initiative to apply to the teacher to help Lin Can.

After being in contact for a while, Chen Zhu felt that Lin Can was a very interesting person, the girl's intuition could feel that he was shy, he was very docile, and he could occasionally "bully" him, he would not be angry, and always looked helpless. That's great.

Lin Can was a little surprised when he learned the news, because the two who had been classmates for a long time rarely intersected, and they didn't say hello when they met, so they could be described as a pair of familiar strangers.

Chen Zhu's moving face is easy to make people's hearts move. Lin Can sometimes fantasizes that she can be his girlfriend, but... But I don't think it's realistic. After all, in everyone's cognition, she is the princess in the greenhouse, and Lin Can is just a kind person who has received her alms.

Besides, Lin Can knew that he must not get too close to Chen Zhu, for fear that she would enter his world, and if he saw his secret, it would scare her.

After self-study class early, Lin Can put away his books, and just wanted to take advantage of these ten minutes to get some sleep, he felt that his back was scratched and tickled by a small hand.

"What are you doing, your hands are itching to scratch the wall." Lin Can turned around and didn't let her scratch it.

"Dangdang, Lin Can, I brought you milk." Chen Zhu got out of his seat, walked up to him, and shook Moslian in his hand.

Chen Zhu was afraid that Lin Can would go back to the orphanage every day to eat and be malnourished, so he decided to bring him a bottle of milk every morning. I have to say, this girl is very careful.

"I don't want it, you can drink it yourself, thank you." Lin Can refused.

"Where is there so much nonsense, if you want to take it, you can take it." Chen Zhu knew that he was embarrassed to ask for girls' things. So it was very domineering and stuffed to him.

This scene fell on a pair of gloomy eyes.

In the eyes of squad leader Zhang Yihao.

Zhang Yihao likes Chen Zhu, which is no secret in the class.

Zhang Yihao's family runs a company, he is relatively rich, basketball has always occupied the position of a forward, and he is also a squad leader, and his grades are also very good, so he is very strong, and he has long regarded Chen Zhu as a predetermined woman. At the beginning, when he heard that Chen Zhu was going to help Lin Can, Zhang Yihao was very unhappy, but now that he sees these two people dangling in front of him all day long, it is strange that Zhang Yihao can bear it again.

Lin Can is an orphan, and his grades are not good, so in his values, he is no different from those beggars who pick up garbage. So I never looked at him as a character.

"Lin Can! Now everyone is resting, who is allowed to talk to you! Tell me to get out of here, and come back in after saying enough! Zhang Yihao was a few feet away and scolded Lin Can in an almost reprimanding tone.

When this sound came out, the whole class looked at Lin Can in an uproar, if ordinary people were slapped in the face like this by the squad leader, they would feel that they would suddenly lose face.

Lin Can couldn't help but be furious when he heard this. But he still pressed it down first, he didn't know if Zhang Yihao was looking for trouble, so he looked at Zhang Yihao very calmly and said, "I'm sorry, maybe I disturbed your rest, but my voice is so small, and it's class time now, no one has a rule that you can't speak." Zhang Yihao, I think it may be that you are in a bad mood today, but please don't lose your temper. It's not good for everyone. ”

Chen Zhu also frowned, she didn't like Zhang Yihao, a person like Zhang Yihao, who relied on the money in the family to dictate.

"Hehe, I laughed. It's not good for everyone, okay, Lin Can, you're awesome. I've learned all the words. Zhang Yihao didn't laugh angrily: "Everyone is very tired in the third year of high school, and finally have a break, take a look!" Now the whole class is not at peace because of you, Lin Can, since you have done it, don't you even dare to admit it. Can you not be a bad seed, so that our whole class looks down on you. ”

I have to say that Zhang Yihao's speech was particularly poisonous, and he specially added the word "class", pushing Lin Can to the opposite position of everyone, and directly forcing Lin Can into a dead end. Whether Lin Cancheng admits it or not, Zhang Yihao has words that can force him to death.

"Zhang Yihao, you are too much! Lin Can just said a word to me, you are not making too much of a fuss! Are you trying to declare a personal vendetta? ”

Chen Zhu is smart, of course he knows that the reason is because of himself.

"Communiqué personal vendetta? Chen Zhu, what do you say? I don't understand. Lin Can did something wrong, how can I have any interests, I just stood in the position of the squad leader to remind everyone how to behave and do things. Zhang Yihao smiled coldly and said very slyly.

"You!" Chen Zhuyin gritted his teeth and glared at Zhang Yihao angrily. This made her unable to open her mouth, and she could not say the specific content of the communiqué's personal vendetta.

Lin Can kept squinting his eyes and staring at Zhang Yihao carefully.

"Okay, Zhang Yihao, today's thing is that I am not right, disturbing everyone's rest. In fact, Ming people don't say secret words, I know what you are calculating, and who is actually present who doesn't know. Lin Can glanced at Chen Zhu, paused, and continued: "Don't worry, I will stay away from her... After all, in this class, I can't fight you. ”

"Heh," Zhang Yihao first glanced at Lin Can in surprise, and then bred a kind of comfort and satisfaction. However, with his city, these emotions will not be on his face.

"What are you talking about, Lin Can, you think too much, now everyone still focuses on learning, and some things will be talked about later." Zhang Yihao does not deny his feelings for Chen Zhu, that will appear hypocritical in front of everyone, they are all in the same class, who doesn't know whom. But it didn't admit it on the surface, but pushed it to the future, because as soon as you graduated from high school, no one could take care of it.

I have to say that this Zhang Yihao is very good at talking around the bend.

"If you do something wrong, admit it, everyone likes people who are responsible, by the way, Lin Can, you were late this morning, and you came in in time, don't forget to pay fifty yuan in the afternoon." I'm the squad leader, so it's hard to cover you up. After speaking, he also made an expression that he wanted to help Lin Can but couldn't help it.

"Okay, I see." Lin Can calmed down, ignored Chen Zhu's obstruction, and agreed to him.
