Volume 3 Chapter 2 Two Worlds, the Same Encounter
3-1 [World A: Perspective of the Halberd]
Darkness weighs down on the city, and people worry about whether the city will be out of breath.
I'm going to make my way home.
"Did that guy eat well?"
For some reason, I was a little worried.
But just then I suddenly heard a commotion.
Turning to look at the source of the sound, at that moment, another voice sounded.
Bang! Bang!
Gunshot?!
I am aware of the gravity of the situation.
And then that followed.
"Ahh!!h
The man's cry. And there was a slight cry in it.
The source of the sound is in an apartment.
That direction - as far as I know, it should be near the 'bank'.
I relied on judgment to run in that direction, and sure enough, I heard footsteps in the 'bank'.
Just as I was at the entrance of the building, a young girl fell down the stairs, and I hugged her at the last moment. But they also fell to the ground together.
The girl was dressed in a long dress, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and looked like a high school student, with long hair beautiful and flowing. The eyes are large and crystal clear, and they are as cute as watery.
But what is unusual is that there is some strange red on her body, and not only that, but there are also some bits and pieces on the ground.
Blood.
My first reaction was this.
What happened, whether it had something to do with the sound.
"Halberd...?"
The girl spoke, and the first thing she said was my name.
I felt that the girl was familiar, but I was sure that it was the first time I had seen her.
A few seconds have passed. A man ran out of the corridor, his whole body was wrapped in black clothes, including his face, and there were blood stains on his body.
Holding in his hand something of a strange shape in a bag. He also carried a huge travel bag on his back. I don't know what to pretend.
But after a few metal objects fell at the top of the staircase, it dawned on me.
[That's a pistol.] γ
The girl seemed to faint. The gun-wielding figure began to run into the woods. To the south of this neighborhood is a small park.
He just passed me by.
I was still lying on the ground, pressed by the girl, and most of the street lights in the neighborhood were damaged, and most of the places were pitch black. Severely limited visual field. In the darkness of the night, all I could see was the man wearing a pair of blue and white sneakers.
He immediately disappeared into the woods, and the street fell silent.
The occupants who heard the noise may have called the police. I picked the girl up and immediately called the police. There were only a few pedestrians in the vicinity, so I left her on the side of the road, asked the pedestrians to look after her, and walked into the house alone.
This room is a bank. Next to the bank is the worker's apartment.
It was pitch black.
Continue to walk ahead, in the dim light at the entrance of the stairway, it is not so dark here. I've been here before, of course, because it's a 'bank' and the only one in the area.
There are two staircases below the corridor of the main building, which connect to the bank on one side and the apartment on the other.
Just below the two stairs, there were two pools of blood.
The two pools of blood were a little distance apart, and one of them had a very unnatural crease.
I frowned, my eyes widened, and I tried to keep the image in my head.
Looking down at the apartment, there was a storage box and a trash can around it, but it was too dark to see. The area around the mezzanine is also very dim.
The blood stain from that strange crease also dripped in front of the other stain, but the two stains seemed to be mixed up after that, and it was impossible to tell which one was which.
However, one of them has extended out the door.
It is estimated that it is the blood stain of the girl just now.
The staircase on the right leads to the second-floor apartment, and the door seems to be open.
But because of the sound of police cars and ambulances, I had to get out of the 'bank' first.
"It's really bad luck to find out two accidents in one day."
What's even more terrifying is that I was also exposed to a shooting.
I walked out of the 'bank'.
Just as I was out of the door, the girl just now grabbed me.
"Broken halberd... I've seen you again..."
The girl cried inexplicably in my arms.
For some reason, I feel so gratified.
Strange, what is this strange feeling......
I can't figure out why I feel so strangely familiar with this person.
I miss it very much.
December 4th, 1:25 a.m.
I was taken to the hospital with me.
3-2 [World B: Perspective of the Dawn Dynasty]
December 4th. After the wee hours of the morning.
I was walking down the street with a flashlight. After the meal, it is natural to go home.
On one side of the avenue, there is a place of light, plus the occasional passing car headlights, as well as your own flashlight.
The light - it makes me feel a little better.
I just met my sister Xi Ning, and thanks to her, I was saved from being entangled by gangsters. But as an adult man, a qualified college student, I can't always rely on her, I have to be brave.
I thought so and plucked up the courage to move on.
But as if it was deliberate, the lights were not very stable, and the flickering flickered only increased the terrifying aura.
But then came an even more terrifying sound.
Bang! Bang!
Two loud noises were heard.
After a while.
Two more voices rang out.
Bang! Bang!
And with it.
"Ahh
It's a man's cry.
I fell to the ground in fright, a sudden event that was beyond my expectations.
Judging by the proximity of the voice, this should have come from near the 'bank'.
I also frequented that bank.
It sounds scary, maybe the police are making an arrest. Or maybe something happened, whatever it was, it shouldn't have anything to do with me, and now I should go homeβ
That's when I remembered the decision I had just made.
I have just decided - I have to be braver. When encountering an accident, I am always the first to think about running away, which is too embarrassing.
I swallowed and walked in the direction of 'bank'.
That's when β
A young girl fell from the entrance of the stairway and fell to the ground, followed by a person covered in black. I can't see the gender.
He carried a travel bag on his back and a black plastic bag in his left hand. What's inside?
The black man ran briskly past me, and the darkness made me unable to see anything clearly, and I only saw on my knees:
[His or her] blue and white sneakers. γ
The man in black ran into the woods. The others who heard the Gun God also gathered here out of curiosity.
I saw the girl lying on the ground.
With long black hair and bloodstains all over his body, he is estimated to be fifteen or sixteen years old, and he should be a high school student. Also wearing a long skirt.
There was chaos in my brain, and I wanted to run away, but for some reason, I always felt familiar with this girl.
What's going on with this feeling..
I walked towards her with trembling legs.
The girl slowly opened her eyes and saw me.
"Xi ...... Folded? β
The girl said word for word.
"Ah......?"
She said three strange sounds.
"Former ...... Toward......? β
Then, muttering my name.
This person: Why do you know my name?
What happened?
Naturally, I didn't dare to go into the building to check, so I could only accompany this girl and wait for the ambulance and police car to arrive.
1:25 a.m.
December 4th, an ordinary day.
In the ordinary Qianshan City, on an ordinary road in the ordinary West District, something extraordinary happened.
