"Student Duan, how are you preparing? There's still a little time left, do you want to go back to that thing? ”

After letting Duan Zilian get into the car, the principal sat in the driver's seat, turned his head and asked Duan Zilian, who was sitting in the back seat.

"No, everything is ready, it's all in the bag." Duan Zilian patted his backpack.

"That's good. By the way, you have two suits next to you, which you are going to wear for tomorrow's game, so you can put them in your bag so you don't forget to bring them later. The headmaster gestured to the spot next to Duan Zilian.

"Hmm." Seeing that there were indeed two suits next to him, Duan Zilian immediately put them in his bag.

At the same time, he asked curiously: "Prepare two suits, principal, will you have a dinner tonight like last time?" ”

He still remembers that the night before the last municipal second competition, the organizers of the competition specially held a dinner party so that all the contestants could get to know each other and make friends.

Although Duan Zilian was basically eating and drinking at that time.

The principal nodded and replied: "Yes, this time the organizer will also hold a dinner party in a hotel, anyway, the nature is similar to the last time, so that you contestants who have advanced to the finals can get to know each other before the competition." Okay, now that you're all set, let's go to the train station, I booked a train ticket at nine o'clock. ”

"Hmm."

After the words fell, the principal fastened his seat belt, drove the car, and took Duan Zilian to the train station.

Sitting in the back row, Duan Zilian looked at the scenery outside the window that was rapidly retreating, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

After all, this is his first time competing at provincial level, and with the final tomorrow, it's inevitable that he'll be a little nervous.

On the way, he was bored, so Duan Zilian lowered his head and played with his mobile phone idly, by the way, to relieve his nervousness.

Soon, the principal drove to the train station, parked the car in the underground parking lot, and then took the ticket with Duan Zilian to enter the station, and after waiting for more than half an hour, he got on the designated bullet train, and after about two hours of driving, he finally came to the city next door.

Walking out of the crowded train station, the principal and Duan Zilian had lunch at a small restaurant next to the train station, and then, directly stopped a taxi on the side of the road, told the taxi driver a place name, and the taxi driver drove him and Duan Zilian away.

The taxi driver is a talkative person, even when talking to strangers, he can talk about everything, so he keeps chatting with the principal, talking about all kinds of things, and hardly stops along the way.

As for Duan Zilian, he was curiously looking at the scenery around him.

The air in this city also contains xenobiotic beast factors, so xenobiotic beasts will also appear here, and Duan Zilian has come here many times by taking stone wings to destroy xenobiotic beasts.

Although he was not a newcomer, every time he came here to destroy the Xenobiotic Beasts, he would leave immediately and not linger much.

Therefore, this is his real visit to the city, which is naturally more novel to the city, and from time to time he also participates in the conversation between the principal and the taxi driver, and says a few words.

More than half an hour later, the taxi driver stopped in front of a large hotel that looked quite luxurious.

After paying, the principal and Duan Zilian got out of the car.

"Is this where we're staying tonight?" Looking at the big hotel in front of him, Duan Zilian asked subconsciously.

"Well, the organizers of the competition have arranged rooms for all the contestants and their escorts in this hotel, and tonight's dinner will also be held in this hotel. The specific venue of the competition is near here, so if you are interested, you can take a look in advance. ”

After speaking, the principal took Duan Zilian into the hotel in front of him, went to the front desk to talk to the waiter, then got the room card, took the elevator, and went to the room.

As Duan Zipian thought, the principal lived next door to him.

"It's one o'clock or two o'clock now, I want to get some sleep, people are old, but it's easier to get tired. If you feel tired, you can also get some sleep, of course, you can also go around the neighborhood, but you should be safe, do not go too far, and especially do not talk to strangers easily to avoid being deceived. Before entering the room, the principal told Duan Zi to take pity.

"yes, I see." Duan Zilian nodded, saw the principal enter the room, and also took the room card and entered his room.

After looking around, Duan Zilian felt that this room looked pretty good, sat down for a while, and the bed was quite soft and comfortable.

didn't care too much about the comfort of the room and all aspects of things, Duan Zilian played with his mobile phone a lot along the way, and seeing that the mobile phone was about to run out of power now, he quickly took out the charger from his backpack and charged the mobile phone, while charging, he played with his mobile phone with nothing to do.

I almost charged my phone, and Duan Zi was bored, and I didn't feel any tired, so I decided to go outside for a walk.

Otherwise, when you come to a new city, if you don't go shopping, it will be too salty, and it will be equivalent to coming for nothing.

Of course, Duan Zilian just went to the neighborhood for a stroll, and he didn't go far, after all, if he didn't know the place well, if he accidentally got lost, it wouldn't be good.

After walking outside for a long time, Duan Zilian came to a food street, and at the entrance of a small alley, he saw a black stray dog, which was taking three small black milk dogs that had probably just been born and were still walking crookedly, looking for food.

The stray animals that can mix here, in fact, the living conditions are still okay, at least they will not starve to death, because from time to time there will be young people passing by, deliberately putting uneaten snacks, mineral water or something, gently next to the garbage can.

The mother dog took three small milk dogs and a family of four to a garbage dump next to a garbage bin to find leftover food for people to eat.

Seeing this situation, Duan Zi felt pity and wanted to go to the store next to him to buy some food for the four dogs.

However, just as he was about to do so, a little boy of seven or eight years old ran out of the crowd, took out a string of beef jerky, squatted down, and shook it at the four stray dogs with a grin.

For humans, the mother dog should have a certain sense of vigilance, just look back, do not pass, and continue to look for food in the garbage heap.

However, a newborn black puppy had no experience in this area, turned around, looked at the little boy in front of him, hesitated for a while, but couldn't resist the temptation of beef jerky, and slowly walked over.

"Come here, come here, there's something delicious here." The little boy was smiling and seducing.

Seeing this scene, Duan Zilian thought that this little boy was a kind child.

However, the next scene shocked him so much that even the three views were about to be refreshed.

I saw that at the moment when the black puppy walked in front of the beef jerky, the grinning little boy suddenly grabbed the puppy's neck and picked up the defenseless puppy at once.

Then, the little boy ran away with the puppy, ran to another garbage bin more than ten meters away, and threw the puppy directly into the trash can, making the puppy let out a milky cry in pain.

Immediately afterwards, the little boy took out a lighter from his pocket, picked up a piece of waste paper next to the trash can, and lit it with the lighter.

The boy then threw the burned paper into the trash.

Although the garbage can was not burned, there were various plastic bags and packaging bags in the garbage can, and when it was burned, choking chemical smoke suddenly came out.

Suddenly, from the garbage can, came the pitiful barking of the puppy.

The big dog came with two other puppies and anxiously circled the bin, not knowing what to do.

And as the initiator of all this, the little boy is laughing heartlessly.

The passers-by around couldn't help frowning when they saw this scene.

Even Duan Zilian is the same.

He was really shocked, and even looked at the little boy's heartless laughter, and he couldn't help but feel cold.

He didn't expect that a little boy who was only seven or eight years old would have such a cruel heart, basing his happiness on the pain of other things.

The seemingly innocent heartless laughter contrasted sharply with the cruel act, which further highlighted the little boy's viciousness and disgusted the passers-by around him.

In the trash can, the puppy's barking seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, and Duan Zi couldn't bear it, so he immediately went over to rescue the puppy.

It's just that someone is one step ahead of him.

A man in white ran to the trash can, held his breath, endured the choking chemical smoke, rescued the puppy from the trash can, and gently put the puppy in front of the dog's mother.

Because the man was sideways, coupled with the distance and the obstruction of the crowd, Duan Zilian couldn't see this person's face clearly, but he felt that this person's figure seemed to be a little familiar.

However, he didn't care about this, and focused more on the rescued puppy.

Although this person was saved quickly, half of the puppy was already blackened, lying on the ground weakly, with its belly lying on the ground weakly, and a low "woo woo" in its nose, as if it was dying of breath and ready to die.

After all, newborn puppies are very vulnerable.

The mother dog hurriedly picked up the dying puppy and fled into the alley with the other two puppies, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Looking at this situation, Duan Zilian felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and his anger was burning.

At the same time, the passers-by who still had a conscience around them began to point their fingers at what had just happened, expressing their indignation at the cruelty just now, accusing the little boy.
