Time seemed to slow down, and in those last few minutes, people were tirelessly manipulating their own business, squandering their youth, writing hard, or tirelessly sweeping the streets. In the heavy snow, the bell in the city that people have heard many times rang.

The "ding......" bell struck for the first time. Looking for the sound, it turned out to be a big clock in the central square. Every year around the Spring Festival, people come to visit the largest clock in human history and make wishes for the new year.

"Dong ......" People stopped their steps and turned their eyes to the big clock. Although it is only December, the last month of the year, tomorrow is New Year's Day.

Yes, this year is December 31, and next year is January 1, the new year.

"Tick...... Click...... Backbite...... The clock on the wall ...... also turning mercilessly, one at a time, but without losing grace.

On a dreamy snowy night, everyone is adding a light to their lives and constantly trying to live for it.

"I said, why don't we go to the gymnasium and wait first?" Dust asked.

"That's not in a hurry, we'll go over with a snap of our fingers, after all, this back and forth will consume a lot of strength, and we still have to save some. ”

"That'...... Why don't we go over first?"

"Ahem, that ......," Nuo said with some embarrassment, "forgot about this stubble." Shadow sighed, "Don't think of us as so noble, we just can save it, and if we can't save it, forget it." ”

Chen looked at the slightly indifferent faces of the two and couldn't help but be stunned, but for some reason, he agreed with what they said very much in his heart.

Wait, why? Dust suddenly remembered the righteous indignation that the three of them had together not long ago, but why did it suddenly become like this? Dust found that his heart gradually began to become cold, as if it had become an emotionless machine. Although I can understand it very clearly, it is like a bystander, examining the soul of a stranger.

Dust picked up his phone and looked at it, and the time on the slightly lit screen told him that it was past twelve o'clock at the moment.

Suddenly, the lights went out, and the whole huge city was suddenly in absolute and dead darkness, and it was pitch black that no fingers could be seen. And the terrifying darkness is now hanging directly above the city, like a lord in the night, staring indifferently at the bustling but ant-like city at his feet.

"It's coming, I can't avoid it. Chen's heart sighed slightly. But there is a different kind of excitement in the heart that has been completely cooled, from the blood, from the soul, and the fear that shakes the heart is intertwined, what kind of emotion is this?

Dust didn't know, but he knew that what he was thinking at the moment was deeply affected by the night, pervasive, all the time.

"It turns out that we are the ones who are on the front line. Xiaochen, you are so lucky, the first time you come out, you can encounter such a large scale of night. Ying smiled faintly, but was a little cold: "Let's go." ”

Dust and Nuo nodded, and then the three of them snapped their fingers, and instantly appeared together on the periphery of the city's largest gymnasium. At this time, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the cold wind is constantly blowing in the dark world, and this city with a long history and a population of tens of millions is on the verge of an abyss.

By this time, 70,000 or 80,000 people had been delivered as agreed, most of them women and children, and many young people. But at this time, they were cursing and swearing, and they were clamoring to go home. Thankfully, there are thousands of guards here, and nothing major incidentally. Countless mobile phones waved back and forth in their hands in the darkness, as a way to pour out their inner dissatisfaction. Originally, they were forcibly asked by the government to come here, but in such a snowy night, even if tomorrow is New Year's Day and there are three days off, no matter what the reason, they can't be forced to stay here!

The lights in the gymnasium suddenly dimmed, causing some riots in the crowd to suddenly startle, and the noisy crowd instantly quieted down. But then they broke out into a new round of riots!

"I'm going home!"

"This is a naked threat!

"Do we still have human rights?"

"We want to defend our right to personal freedom!"

......

The crowd was filled with righteous indignation and scolding, unaware of the danger, and was approaching them.

"Didn't they perceive that terrifying power?" asked Dust, looking at the crowd below.

Nou shook his head, "It's only the beginning of the night, but soon, the power of the night will quickly envelop the whole city, and the fear from the trembling of the soul will permeate everything." ”

"What about the so-called leaders?"

"Hehe, how could he come?" Ying sneered, "I wonder if I'm still lying in bed and fighting in the dark! Tmd This is the so-called high-ranking official! Take the people's taxes, eat the people's food, and do the things of beasts!"

Noya shook his head, "I've told them all, and it doesn't matter to them whether they believe it or not. The latest order I've gotten is to protect this gymnasium and keep those early first-order imps from approaching. The rest, with the strength of the three of us, are already powerless. ”

Nuo said word by word: "Our task is to defend the gymnasium!"

Dust and Shadow nodded emphatically. The warmth in Chen's heart seemed to condense again, making his blood gush, and he was even a little impatient. At this time, the darkness that shrouded the city began to rotate wildly, and the countless gray rays were brewing wildly at the moment, and they were also a little ready to move.

"In the first phase of the night, preparations began. Shadow exhaled deeply, "Wait a minute, the three of us will stop all the gray rays, and we must not let them enter the gymnasium! Dust, you don't have to be afraid, just block it with your own body, it doesn't matter if the gray rays enter your body, but you can slightly improve your strength." ”

Nuo continued, "You are now at the peak of the first order, if you can get the support of a huge force, you may be able to break through to the second order. The strength of the first and second orders is not as simple as a difference of one rank. Chen nodded silently, looking at the countless gray rays that were about to move, and there was a hint of heat in his eyes. Two years ago, he could only hide on the top of the Ferris wheel and watch everything happen, but today, he is standing here, at the forefront, for the people behind him...... No, it's for yourself.

Dust shook his head in some pain, and the power hidden deep in his body was once again - "For the world." ”

"No, it should be no one!"

"It's about finding meaning. The world is your life's back. The voice was seductive.

At this moment, countless gray rays fell from the night, and clumps of chilling, disgusting creatures like small insects flew down from the sky, ready to find their own suitable host. The more suitable the host is, the stronger the initial strength will be.

"Ready. Shadow and Promise concealed their aura, ready to catch the ill-intentioned Grey by surprise.

But Chen's mind is still so disordered. "It's to protect the people behind you. "It's for yourself. "It's for the world. ”

"What the hell is it for?" said Chen, furious in his heart.

All kinds of voices filled Chen's mind, making him a little unable to suppress himself. From the murmuring at the beginning, to the clear chaos now, he doesn't know what he is thinking now, he only knows that he has to fight, he has to tear everything in front of him.

His eyes were slowly bloodshot, and he looked even more terrifying than a ghost. The voice in his head became clearer and clearer, and Chen could no longer stand the chaotic noise in his heart, and the voice in his heart told him: Only by fighting can the world be quiet.

He moved, at this time his figure was like a ghost, and he stepped on it violently, taking advantage of the terrain of those high-rise buildings to continue to sweep high, and with the continuous spatial displacement, he wanted to face all the gray rays alone!

Dust's move startled Nuo Heying, "Dust, come back quickly! You can't stand so much gray alone!" Shadow hurriedly shouted. But Dust seemed to turn a deaf ear, and her figure turned into afterimages, which made Ying couldn't help but be surprised, because the speed at which Dust exploded now had reached one-third of her peak strength. Don't underestimate this third, her ability is speed, not to mention that the difference between dust and her strength is a whole order!

"Something is wrong with this kid. Nuo looked up at the figure gradually moving into the sky, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Could this really be just a first-order strength?

At this time, the speed of dust has reached the limit of what his body can explode, two years of hard work, coupled with his strong physical talent, between which he stepped lightly, his body continued to move towards the sky with the thrust, and after a while, he was exposed to the gray mang's field of vision, which made the gray mangs stunned, and some did not understand why a human appeared in front of them.

But then, they were a little unsettled. Dust completely restrained all the aura on his body, and he looked no different from an ordinary person. And they can sense the majestic breath of life of this human being, he will be an excellent host! The gray light is crazy, the gray sea is surging wildly towards the dust, they have only one thought, to devour the human in front of them!

At this time, the dust is like a volley, and the momentum of rushing upwards has not subsided, just like a warrior who can only charge, facing thousands of troops alone, opening his chest to meet the embrace of the tsunami.

"Hey, Dust!" Shadow's voice rang out from Dust's heart. "Come down quickly! You can't withstand so much power alone!"

Dust didn't respond, and he rushed forward like a beast roaring.

"What should I do?" asked Shadow.

"I don't know. Although Nuo was a little worried about dust in his heart, his voice did not carry a trace of emotion: "Since that kid is going to die, then let him go." ”

A hint of hesitation flashed in Shadow's eyes, as if she was struggling, but soon her voice also became cold, and it was also duplicitous: "Yes." ”

She left an afterimage in the air, quickly chasing the footsteps of dust. No's heart trembled, but then he shook his head, "MD, let me do these things again!" He sighed in his heart, but his pace never slowed.
