My name is Xiao Zhe.

For as long as I can remember, I've been in a dilapidated building.

My usual life is to stay in a dark room, with a bed, a few old and yellowed broken books as a companion, even at that age, I still don't know what loneliness is, what is boring, and of course no one teaches me to read, I can only memorize these strange glyphs over and over again in the dim light, waiting for "them" to take me to the "light".

Every day after lunch, a tall man would drag me to the "light".

I was tied to a pillar, and those men seemed to have brought in many magicians, and they would conjure flames, thunder, and hail, and fly towards me again and again.

At first, my body instinctively tightened and screamed in horror, but the things that were conjured up by the magic bombarded me like mud cows into the sea, and there was no news, and I didn't even feel any pain, just felt the warmth in my body.

I saw those people smiling, but I didn't feel the warmth at all, only the chill on their smiles.

So they took me to the "light" more often, and later I realized that they were experimenting with me.

Until one day, instead of attacking me with those attributed magic, a fierce man walked towards me with a hammer and a sinister smile.

I struggled frantically, I was already used to being attacked to the point of numbness, and this time an unprecedented panic rose in my heart, and I felt that I would die.

The chains were so tight that my young body couldn't break free.

The hammer finally landed on my right arm, and my throat seemed to be choked, and the screams came to an abrupt end.

Pain, I was left with only one feeling left at that moment.

I looked at my limp arm, blood gushing out from a hideous wound on it, and in the pain, I felt my body about to explode, and an irrepressible anger filled my brain.

The next second, I felt a sense of release that I had never experienced before, and I felt a warm current rushing out of every pore on my body.

Screams rang out in my ears, and I watched as I was surrounded by a sea of fire, lightning flashes, and all kinds of magic tricks were flying wildly, as if ...... Is this my magic?

The chains melted, and for the first time I walked freely in the "light", yes, freedom, and at that moment, I knew that I had obtained what I had once been so extravagant.

Those people were all dead, miserable, and I looked at the scene in front of me, but there was a twisted pleasure in my heart.

I didn't care about the wound on my right arm, laughed and admired the group of people in front of me, oh no, the horrific state of the corpses.

Then a wave of exhaustion hit me, and I fell to the ground.

......

When I awoke, it was dark in front of me, and the faint light from a small window made it clearer.

The familiar metal room, the bed, and the books, but what struck me as something strange was the large, irregular hole in the wall, which seemed to have been blown open by something.

My memory slowly recovered, and I remembered that the magic I had inexplicably used before, killing everyone, and I must have opened this big hole.

No, who sent me back to this room?

I was startled at the thought of this, but there seemed to be no sign of restraint on my body, and I rubbed my numb legs and stood up, when I suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps.

Someone is coming down the hallway!

I hid my skinny figure in a dark corner where the light couldn't be found, holding my breath as the footsteps grew louder.

Suddenly, the footsteps stopped, and a leg as thin as mine stepped through the door, and then a little boy in tattered clothes, scruffy, but with piercing eyes, appeared in my field of vision.

"Hey, strange, why is this person gone?" The little boy muttered.

Although I have not seen many people since I can remember, I can still tell that this little boy has no malice in him...... And looking at his thinner body than me, I'm afraid he can't pose any threat to me.

"You... Who are you?" I stepped out of the shadows and asked cautiously.

He seemed to be taken aback by my sudden appearance, but then smiled: "You woke up so quickly, I am your next-door neighbor, name...... I can't seem to remember, so you can just call me Xiao Wu. ”

"Neighbors... Neighbors?" I seemed to be a little jerky because I hadn't spoken for a long time, and I could only stutter some simple words.

"Yes, we're all 'experiments' locked up here by these demons, and we're going to be treated in this cruel way just because we have some rare and powerful abilities." Xiao Wu said indignantly.

I hesitated for a moment to say because of the blockage of speech.

He seemed to see my confusion and continued: "I only learned this by overhearing their conversation, and I even managed to 'escape' from prison twice, but I was too young to play with these adults, and they were all taken back for stricter supervision. ”

"When you were taken out for an experiment just now, I don't know what happened, I guess you went on a rampage or something, bombing the entire laboratory, if I hadn't used my ability to turn the aftermath of your energy into nothing, I guess it would have been a corpse by now." Xiao Wu shrugged his shoulders, dragged me over, put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Anyway, we are brothers now, we escaped from this ghost place, and we will try to survive together in the unknown environment in the future!" ”

"Brother...... Brothers. I stammered, and hugged the only person I could feel warm for all these years.

As we walked out, he told me some of the news he had found.

It turns out that our memories have been erased, no wonder I don't remember anything about my life experience, even before the age of five, but the language memory remains. The two times Xiao Wu escaped from prison, his memory was erased, so he doesn't know anything about the outside world now.

As we spoke, we walked out of the ruins, out of hell, and out of the light.

......

Fifteen years later, the Mirror Bar.

The biggest style of this bar is that it is decorated with a variety of colorful glass, and almost all parts of the country know that I open this iconic building, so people often want to visit me.

However, there was not a single guest who came into my office through the wall.

"Are people used to visiting people like this now?" I made a joke as I looked at the young man in front of me in a rustic school uniform and a tall man in sunglasses next to him.

"Not only that, but I'd like to invite you to have a drink with us." The young man looked at me with those piercing eyes and said.

I realized that trouble was at work again.
