Chapter 17: The Little Girl Who Sells Flowers on a Snowy Night
"Leave it alone?" even Ying couldn't help but frown, she didn't know how it could have become such a serious problem.
Nod nodded, "Although those high-level executives don't have the ability to control them, so they no longer have any information about those night cities, but before us, there were seniors who took a few of them there, and they were scared a lot. Although Huaxia was established later, our own organization of supernatural beings was finally established, and we also have a certain ability to resist ghosts. But ......"
"Are we too few?" Shadow grasped the crucial point.
"That's right, there are too few of us, and it's pitiful to have too few. Nuo put down the chopsticks in his hand, "When Huaxia was founded, there were only about twenty supernatural people in the entire country at that time, and a few people even died in the ghost town inexplicably. As you know, there are already very few supernatural people, and if we reduce the number of personnel, we will only be able to watch all this happen, and we will not be able to do anything. So those in power are very afraid, because there are too few supernatural people, and the ghosts are overwhelming, and they are afraid that one day those ghosts will attack those cities that have not yet been infected by night, and when the time comes, it will really be a disaster of blood and light. ”
"That's why those in power selectively ignore or even ignore it. Because we've told them how to spawn Adepts, but the odds are very low. In order to be able to increase the number of Adepts, now. Nuo got up and pushed the window open suddenly, and the bitter cold wind blew in, "This is what they do." ”
"A city that will be frozen forever by heavy snow. If night finally falls here, don't forget the last of the city's prosperity. "The wind is blowing.
"Hey, dead fatty, close the window, freeze me to death!" said Shadow dissatisfied.
"Ahem, sorry. Noh closed the window again, and the world outside the window became a blur again.
The three fell silent. In fact, they are also very conflicted in their hearts. Although they know that this is wrong, the state's approach should be to protect the people first, and the rest should be put aside. However, in order to be able to resist the terrifying ghosts that came out of the night in the future, they also desperately hoped that the number of supernatural beings could increase again, even if there was one more, it would be possible to change the trend of a battle, and it would be possible to save tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands......! The increase in the number of supernatural people will pay the corresponding price of countless ordinary people's lives.
On the one hand, it is the ordinary life of all living beings, and on the other hand, it is for the living force that can continue to be civilized. No matter where it is, it's not easy to choose......
"Forget it, don't think about it so much. Noh reassured, "Soon, the Spirit will tell us the result." Hopefully, night won't appear in the city. ”
"Come on. Shadow looked listless, "Don't we always appear wherever we appear? We can't dodge, don't we all have to rush to the front?" Nuo sneered, a little embarrassed.
"There are still a few hours, wait for twelve. Ei took out his laptop and began to surf the Internet in boredom.
"Well, Brother No, who is the spirit?" Obviously, Dust was still quite curious about this person called Ling.
"Ling, that's the soul of our Huaxia. Nuo's chubby face couldn't help but show a look of respect. "She is very mysterious, and she meets us in a mask at every meeting in China. All we know is her code name, Spirit. And the ability of the spirit is ......" Norpause and said with a solemn face: "Predict the future." ”
"What, predicting the future?" Dust's voice couldn't help but raise a few points. Even if he is only new to the world of the supernatural, he still only knows a little about the ability, but the importance of the ability to predict the future is basically a strategic position. What's more, this ability is the most strategic of the strategic, second to none.
"Why else do you think we're here?" said Nonunu, "for all these years, every news of nightfall has been told to us from the spirit. Although she is now a third-order and is already standing at our highest peak, the prophecy is still biased, and it will take a lot of energy. No, four or five cities, we all have to spend a lot of energy to take care of each other. ”
"You know our three great commanders of Huaxia, right?" Dust shook his head. "Warfare, responsible for ensuring the security of the base, doing logistics work, and training new personnel; Spirit, responsible for predicting the future and informing us of intelligence and news; Mad, responsible for strategic command, fighting, is also our commander. It is the three of them who together support the backbone of our current Huaxia. No's eyes couldn't help but reveal fascination.
No one can escape the rise and fall of the world! No one can escape it.
"Third-Order ......" Chen silently felt the power contained in his body, now he was only the strength of the peak of the first order, but he still felt that it was far from the strength of the second order. He couldn't help but smile, others had barely been able to break through to the third-order strength through more than ten or twenty years of hard work, even if he was talented, it had only been two years since he was already at the peak of the first-order, in comparison, he was already very strong, so there was no need to be arrogant. He told himself.
"We'll know when the night will fall at twelve o'clock. Nuo patted Chen's shoulder and waved the remaining food scraps, and the lunch boxes disappeared in an instant. A scolding suddenly came from downstairs: "Who threw the lunch box trolling?" Nuo's eyes trembled, and then he coughed twice and quietly closed the curtains.
It's 7:40 p.m. Dust now felt that he was distraught and couldn't calm down. After all, in these last few hours, just like Ling Chi, you have no idea whose head the butcher knife will be cut on.
"I want to go out and breathe, to walk around. Dust said to the two of them.
"Go ahead. "The shadow head doesn't go back to the tunnel. After all, it's almost time to work, and a little more time to focus on it, you may be able to save more people. "Help me buy a few coats, any size, you look at it. Dust smiled bitterly, and he went out as if he had become a coolie.
And Nuo did not respond to him, he was still holding his mobile phone, and from time to time he was calling those so-called senior leaders. After all, time is already very short, and if the order for the citizens to evacuate is given now, it will be too late, but he also knows that this is just useless work.
Looking at No's seemingly calm face, Dust could sense the anger burning in his heart. Chen sighed helplessly, he was only on a mission for the first time, but he had to carry no less than what they were going to come.
Dust snapped his fingers, and then the spatial ripples rippled gently, and his figure appeared at the entrance of the ice sculpture park. At this time, although the snow is still heavy, there is still an endless stream of tourists, and it seems that this so-called ice sculpture park is also quite interesting. Dust touched his nose, and then slowly blended into the crowd, feeling the sound of people, and the breath that belonged to them, which was alive, life, full of vitality.
He took a greedy sip, tears streaming down his face. But soon, he wiped away his tears, and the sadness in his heart was gone.
Now, am I integrated into society? He laughed at himself.
He followed the flow of people and slowly walked into the park, gently stepping on the loose snow, leaving his own mark among countless footprints.
There is no entrance fee to the Ice Sculpture Park, but some ice sports are at your own expense. After the dust followed the crowd into the park, because there were many road sections, he simply chose a path with fewer tracks, stepped on the snow, and walked all the way over.
Most of the people here are couples, two by two, and their faces are full of happiness and happy smiles. He looked up and suddenly saw the snow falling in the night sky, and Xue's beautiful face once again appeared in Chen's mind, occupying Chen's entire heart.
His thoughts were so strong because she was the only one he had, and even though they had only been apart for less than a day, his emotions were the same as those for two years, and the lack of snow in the base forced him to work harder and do his best to complete his training, which was why he improved so quickly.
But his grander goal is a little small to say - just to have the strength to protect her.
He was stunned, not noticing that a timid little girl next to him was approaching him.
"Uncle...... No, brother. The little girl spoke, as crisp as a yellow finch, "I..... Do you need to buy flowers? for my brother's girlfriend. Her slightly shy voice woke the dust to the sight of the little girl in front of her, who was more than a head shorter than him. At this time, her hair had been completely dyed white by the snow, and a few broken hairs covered her brows; her little face was flushed, and her clothes were very thin, and she would shrink her nose from time to time; at this time, she trembled and took out a few roses that were not so bright and beautiful from the small bag at the back, and Dust noticed that the little girl's hands already had several frozen roots, and the little hands trembling slightly made Dust feel distressed. It's so late, or in such a cold winter, how can a little girl appear here to sell flowers?
She held several roses that seemed to be a little withered in her hand and placed them in front of her eyes, and her clear and transparent eyes showed a look of expectation, "Only ten yuan." This made Chen a little crying and laughing, which made him not know what to do. But seeing her so pitiful, I couldn't help but feel distressed in my heart. "I bought it. Looking at the little girl in front of him with a little joy on his face, he touched his pocket helplessly, and suddenly remembered the bank card of 500,000 yuan that Zhan had prepared for him, but there was no cash.
Chen sighed, he wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but looking at the little girl in front of him, his eyes were shining, but he couldn't bear to disappoint her in his heart, and he could only swallow the words of refusal. His eyes rolled for a moment, and then he smiled: "In this way, you carry me on your back, from one to thirty, it is half a minute, okay?"
"Why?" asked the little girl, puzzled.
"No, why, if you want to, forget it. Dust stared at her playfully.
"Okay!" After searching for so long, I finally found someone who could sell the flowers in my hand, and such a small request was not too much. It's just that...... The little girl's face couldn't help but show a worried look, he wouldn't take the opportunity to run away, would he? Although she was young, her life as a displacer forced her mind to be precocious.
