The man she called her father had said this to her before, and this was also regarded by Li Ruolin as a criterion for dealing with people.

No one can always be by your side, even the most majestic father figure in her mind, her last impression of her father is that year, the red maple leaves are flying all over the sky, the feet are full of dried leaves, and the newly fallen leaves cover the old leaves, paving the road in front of the house.

The little feet in the sky blue princess shoes stepped on the leaves, and there was the soft texture of the broken dead leaves and the soft new leaves, which was her favorite entertainment at that time, although she was the unsmiling temperament of the child, and was laughed at by her father like her mother who was far away in a foreign country.

"Even the looks are the same, but fortunately you are like your mother, like me, you will be wasted. At that time, the man would still be so self-deprecating, although according to the aesthetic standards of society at the time, he had the face of a movie star, and the angular outline resembled the young Al Pacino, but when talking about that woman, there was always an emotion that was about to be humbled to the ground haunting his father.

Even she was a little jealous, the mother who had never met since she was sensible, it was impossible for others to see her cold temperament at that time, even Aunt Li, who took care of his diet and daily life, this father's distant relative was more competent than her mother, and she racked her brains every day to dress Li Ruolin beautifully.

According to her words, the daughter of the Li family should be the daughter of the Li family, not like the prodigal son who doesn't care about the family.

The prodigal child is naturally talking about his father, she is much more mature than her peers, and can understand the words of adults.

But she still respects her father in her heart, he knows that her father is not a so-called prodigal child, he is definitely not a dashing waste person with his grandfather's huge inheritance, and there must be a reason for him to pretend to be like this.

Just like when she was six years old, after she had a dream about her mother, after opening her eyes overflowing with tears, she held two palm-sized silver blades in her hands and was at a loss, and her father rushed into her room for the first time, staring at the two swords in a daze.

[Good boy, dad is sorry for you, dad is a waste......! He hugged his little body, crying more than himself, and from then on, the two swords were a secret between her and her father, and she nodded to his tearful father, indicating that she would not tell anyone about it.

The silhouette of the moon spilled from the European-style round window on the big bed, illuminating the back of the man who was crying with his daughter in his arms, and the frivolous and lazy nature of the past was now gone.

Li Ruolin will not cry Li Ruolin from now on, because she knows that there is a more fragile man in this world, although she will not be at home for three days, but she believes that it is because of some unexplained reasons, not simply spending time drinking.

The woman he loves most in his life is far away at this time, and he wants to replace that woman, she has to accompany him all the time, and she can't let him get hurt.

Although she never said it, her father knew everything, and she heard him order Aunt Li that the road in front of the door was not allowed to be cleaned.

It was on that road that the man helped the little girl in front of her on the head, her indigo hair was smooth and supple, long draped around the girl's waist, she opened her round eyes, calmly looked at the man who squatted down and wore a white suit, the years did not leave any traces on this handsome face.

His smiling face was like a collection of all the good things in the world, and the girl's tiny body in the gray pupils seemed to melt.

[We are all travelers in the short flow of time, and constant companionship is destined to be a luxury.] ]

After saying this, the reluctance and tenderness on his face slowly dissipated, and the man let go of his hand, and the warm touch that slid through his fingers made a slight move somewhere in the girl's heart.

He walked in the opposite direction of the street, carrying a brown patent leather code bag, with a hearty smile on his side face, waving his hand at the girl and Aunt Li behind him.

Aunt Li put her arm around Li Ruolin's small shoulders and sighed deeply, she looked at the man and got into the black car at the end of the street, the engine of the Taicatel T9 made a roar, rolling the maple leaves on the ground into the air, and the maple leaves were falling all over the sky and dancing in the air, like the scene in the painting, the white car disappeared at the end of the flying maple leaves.

Li Ruolin smiled, although she only laughed lightly in a slightly raised arc, but she still startled Aunt Li, and couldn't help but say that she pulled Li Ruolin and walked to the iron door of the house to take her temperature, and said that this child who had never laughed since he came here had a fever?

He's finally been able to fulfill his long-cherished wish, right?, the girl thought, and of course only she knew the meaning of the smile.

A few months later, the red maple in front of the door had already withered and turned into powder at the slightest touch, and Aunt Li was busy arranging for someone to clean up the thick layer.

The courtyard door was open, and she calmly watched the men in black walk up the stairs in front of the hall, calmly listened to their narrations in the reception room covered with brown and red carpets, and calmly took the brown patent leather handbag they handed over, the bronzed logo was densely covered with fine scratches, and the tight workmanship prevented it from crumbling because of these terrible scars.

According to them, the belongings of the missing person are returned to the next of kin who has the ability.

She gently stroked the surface of the purse, the lock cylinder seemed to sense her touch, and slowly bounced open after a click, revealing two neatly clipped files and a small horn the size of a simple palm.

On the front of the file is a portrait of his father, the corners of the man's mouth curled up in a cynical arc, and his black hair is combed in three or seven minutes, hanging down the side of his face in a dashing manner.

Li Ceyan, Southeast Division, Executor, A+, some data that she still can't understand is densely written for several pages, Li Ruolin turned to the next file, looked at the photo that has been some years old, and the face in the photo that is almost exactly the same as herself, and slightly flustered.

Yan Linlin, Headquarters, Overseer, S.

The woman who claimed to be the person in charge took off her sunglasses, looked at the girl's eyes with some sadness, she slowly took the girl's hand and slowly opened her mouth.

"Trust me. ”

The girl nodded slowly, and there was no trace of emotional exposure on her calm face.

"Hmm. ”

Under the last beam of the sunset, a middle-aged woman wearing a mask on the road outside the window was waving a broom with the cleaner, and in the small box next to the round coffee table, the double blades of the snake's head entwined and inlaid slightly emitted cold light, trembling in the girl's calm voice.

Li Ruolin took out the small horn from the expansion device, and the horn body plated with real gold split several cracks, presumably because of the age.

She used to carry this little thing with her, after all, it was the last thing her father left him, and she tried to blow the horn, but in the end it all ended in failure.

Father and mother are both high-level abilities, it is impossible for them to die so easily, they are just missing, with this belief, she joined the southeast division to which her father once belonged, and has grown up step by step, and the once cold girl is already an executor who can take charge of herself.

She shook her head, put the horn back into the expansion device, and turned towards the end of the trail where she had knocked down the skeleton, the horrible body tissue lying on the ground split in half had stopped beating, and the black-brown blood gushing out of the wound and dripping into the nearby manhole cover.

If their feelings are correct, all the low-level skeletons are fleeing in the direction of the dead end of these two buildings.

That is, there must be something at the end of this road.

She slowly approached the motionless monster corpse, its head split in half with its face facing the sky, its hideous expression frozen for a moment before it lost its life.

Can the word vitality really be used on these monsters?

Before they became in this state, they were all living people, and what kind of evil power could be so evil that they could distort life forms to this extent.

Not far in front of her is a dead end formed by the connection of two buildings, this must not be the target of their escape, after scanning the surrounding environment, she cast her eyes to the bleeding manhole cover, now most of the newly built communities have given up this ancient drainage facility, and the only manhole cover on the whole road provoked Li Ruolin's doubts.

She took out her dream and reached into the gap on the side of the manhole cover, the brilliance flashed on the blade of the sword, and she used one arm to lift the blood-stained manhole cover out, revealing a deep and dark circular hole.

There was no rotten smell coming from inside the cave, just a faint fishy wind blowing slowly from the bottom up, as if it was in another unknown space.

She pulled out a light stick and threw it towards the hole, but after a few seconds, the flaming light fell to the bottom, which was much larger and well ventilated.

This doesn't look like what a drain should be.

Li Ruolin didn't think much about it, she took out Wanhua from her waist with her left hand, her two swords separated, and her legs jumped down with force and lightness, landing near the flickering light stick.

The imagined dampness did not come as expected, on the contrary, the originally sealed lid was drier than the ground, as if the water in the ground had been evaporated, and the temperature was obviously much higher than the outside, and a passage spread out to her left and right, and the fire did not reach the end of the passage, extending farther away.

She picked up the light stick on the ground and walked to the left-hand passage, the modified light stick could last about ten minutes, and she held the light stick in her hand along with Tumeng, observing her surroundings.

It doesn't look like a sewer, there is not a trace of man-made excavation, it looks like a natural pathway, the wall is made of pure earth, and the top of the wall without any load-bearing device still looks solid.

Li Ruolin walked forward at a normal speed for about dozens of minutes, but still did not reach the end of the path, at this time, according to her speed, it should have been far away from the original community, from the direction of travel, she remembered that not far away should be a deserted lumber yard.

When they were on the surface, they had previously investigated that there was a lumber yard left from the last century not far from the community, because the current policy prohibits logging, and this land has not been favored by developers, so it has been abandoned here, and has become a paradise for homeless people in the western suburbs of the city.

Turning a right intersection, the passage became wide in front of him, and there was a faint light flashing at the end of the passage, Li Ruolin saw this, dropped the lighting rod in his hand and stepped on it under his feet, picked up his double swords, and accelerated the pace of progress.

Sure enough, as she expected, there was something there, her Wanhua had been in a state of detection, and the slender sword body was glowing in the air, and she would know it as soon as she found the existence of the domain class.

Is it just a simple passage?

She was getting closer to the end of the passage, the flickering light source was like moonlight from above, not the light of something special, and now the passage was big enough for four people to pass through at once, and she couldn't help but wonder if it might be just a simple drain.

Of course, she had thought so before she saw all that.
