Heavy clouds pressed the sky, fine rain nails into the concrete floor, the world was covered with a layer of fog, and stepping on this rain curtain will make you feel a little breathless.

Bai Chen slowly raised his head, and the rain fell on his face.

"What's going on up front?"

"...... on the bus"

"What's going on?!"

The commotion in front of her brought her back to her senses - several pedestrians ran forward behind her, and not far away was the bus in which Fang Li's had ridden.

…… Is it over?

Bai Chen thought about it, watching more and more people rushing over there, some people shouting "stop crowding", "call the police", "call an ambulance" and the like, and there was chaos.

A few minutes later, people from the Xinghai Bureau arrived, and people in police uniforms began to check the scene and evacuate the crowd.

She was still standing, and she honestly didn't know why.

Mourn? Or reflect?

But she didn't know what it was like.

"I chose to end up in this kind of place, I don't know whether to say cautious or dead-eyed." Suddenly, she felt a shadow fall above her head - Jiang Carp appeared beside her with an umbrella, with a hint of helplessness on his face, "Alas, overtime is limited." ”

Bai Chen asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Because he is full of hatred for everything, once he grasps the possibility, he will climb up desperately for what he wants...... But once it fails, it will pour all its recklessness into how to make trouble for others. Jiang Li said slowly, "It's as simple as that." ”

Bai Chen was silent.

"Do you have an umbrella?" Suddenly, Jiang Li spoke.

"Yes."

"Then go home with an umbrella, don't you have to go to class at night?" He chuckled, paused as the girl moved, and then opened the umbrella.

Bai Chen was stunned, hung his head and didn't speak.

"That's right," Jiang Li was just about to put away the umbrella, when he suddenly thought of something and turned around.

Bai Chen looked up at him.

The man now seemed like he was fine, as if none of the things in the Ash World had happened - the corners of his mouth were crooked, and his eyes were shining with colorful light: "What happened in the Ash World, just keep it a secret." ”

Refers to...... Bai Chen looked at his smiling eyes, didn't ask at all, and nodded silently.

Only then did he pat the side of his coat that was soaked in the rain, and walked towards the "accident scene" with an umbrella.

"Miscellaneous people, etc...... Jiang carp? Why are you here? The police officer standing in front of the scene was a little impatient when he saw someone approaching, but when he saw someone coming, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Jiang Li smiled and pulled out the work card in the PCI: "Well, come to work overtime, how is Officer Xu doing?" It's been a long time, and our boss Zhou is going to talk about me again. ”

Officer Xu looked at him with an inexplicable expression: "This matter has something to do with the things in your department?" ”

"Yes, yes." Jiang Li still had a smiling face, "Please also ask Officer Xu to reward his face?" ”

"What kind of reward, if it has something to do with your department, go quickly, there are still many things here." Officer Xu was silent for a moment, then continued.

Jiang Carp laughed twice more "ahahaha" before rushing into the scene surrounded by people.

Bai Chen couldn't see him anymore.

After a moment of silence, she turned away, silently.

The location of No. 3 Middle School is special, it is not close to the old city, it is not far away, and it took Bai Chen some time to arrive by bus - the last time I came was in the world of ashes.

When she got out of the car and walked in the direction of her memory, a voice sounded behind her: "Bai Chen? ”

She looked back and raised an eyebrow.

Ling Yao stood not far behind her, holding an umbrella in one hand and a bag of things in the other.

"I've heard he's been killed, but it looks like you already know." Ling Yao's words were vague, but Bai Chen still understood what she was saying, "Let me guess...... You and I are not the same destination. ”

Bai Chen didn't speak.

She smiled and calmly continued on her way.

The rain was still falling, and both of them were quiet, so that the only sound of water dripping in the puddles on the roof of the old house was slightly louder on the deserted street, and nothing else was to be mentioned.

Soon, the sign of "Yongsheng Food Processing Factory" appeared in front of the two.

The factory has long since closed down, but the address seems to have been taken over by no one and is vacant here—

Before Bai Chen could deliberately look for them, he saw the old beggar - the old man didn't seem to see them, sitting quietly at the door, and the rain fell on his face randomly and irregularly.

Ling Yao glanced at the door, took out an umbrella from the plastic bag, and first handed the original one to Bai Chen, who took it before opening it and walked over.

Bai Chen followed her.

Ling Yao stuck the umbrella in the hole next to the door - the umbrella was just right in that position, as if someone had specially prepared it for this old beggar.

"Fang Silin got it, she will come here to have a look." Ling Yao said simply, "But that's all there is to do - the old man's spirit is stimulated, and he is often unconscious, because he has no relatives, so he can't be sent to a regular institution, and even if he does, he will run back by himself, and no one will bother to take care of him." ”

As she spoke, she put down the plastic bag - Bai Chen saw that there was some food inside.

"That's it, let's go."

Bai Chen watched her take the umbrella again, turned around and left, she had been quiet all the time, but at this moment she suddenly said, "Is this the compensation of the other party's family by the King's Sword?" ”

"No, it's just that I personally think they are pitiful, and they just have this time." Ling Yao said, "No player will mourn the death of another player, not only because there are many people who die in the game every day...... Since you have participated in this battle, competition is inevitable, and death is inevitable. ”

Bai Chen was silent.

"Even if it's not a game, it's reality, a person's death...... It's the same. Ling Yao remembered something again and chuckled, "There will always be people who are more pitiful than yourself, you won't have time to mourn one by one, it's enough to take care of your own affairs." ”

Bai Chen is not someone who will pity people casually - on the contrary, because of her lack of understanding, she does not have this sense of consciousness at all.

There is only one judgment.

"I refuse." She said suddenly.

Ling Yao stopped, raised her eyebrows, and looked back at her.

"I can't agree with your philosophy." Bai Chen spoke, "Therefore, I refuse." ”

She didn't say why, and the reason might not even be understood by herself—

Ling Yao stood in place for three seconds, and finally nodded: "Okay, then it's the enemy after that, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye." Bai Chen said.

Jiang Carp finally finished the shift, and after walking out of the gate of the Xinghai Bureau, the night was dark.

The Ash Department was blown up, because Lin Yue overturned the car and leaked some of the data, and now there is a way to confirm the data that was copied and taken away.

He really didn't want to go back and dwell on these things, so he wanted to go home and sleep.

"It's tiring." He sighed.

Just then, his PCI beeped, and as he walked out, he opened it and saw several messages.

The sender of the message is empty, which doesn't quite make sense, and it's even like something that never exists is leaving him a message.

"500 was chopped up, and the Guardians said they saw you."

"Did something happen to you?"

"Or ...... Something is out of the ordinary. ”

Jiang Li saw the content of the message clearly, stopped, about a few seconds, then laughed, sent a sentence, then closed the PCI and stepped into the night.

[Jiang Carp (23:42): No anomalies. The Guardian mechanic looked disgusting, so I hacked it casually. 】
