Ella returned to the orphanage, expressionless and no longer talking. A month after returning to the orphanage, she was adopted again. This time it was a young man who came to pick her up from the orphanage. He was well-dressed, his brown pupils gave the illusion of a wine's crimson purple in the bright light, his straight nose was covered with silver decorative glasses, and his hair was brown and fluffy.

He leaned down and greeted Ella, a half-truth smile on his lips.

"Hello, I'm Roddy. The person who adopted you is Sister Su of the Green Lantern Pavilion......"

Ella didn't listen to Roddy. She no longer had any hope for the future, and it didn't matter if she was rich or poor, even if she was another Madame Morris. Anyway, in this world, no one will be really good to her.

Ella follows Roddy to her new home. The environment of the new home is much better than that of the orphanage and Morris's house, the layout and design of the home is a combination of Chinese and Western, and the overall color is dark, atmospheric and calm. From this, Ella could deduce that the hostess did not belong to any of the categories of people she had met before, with elegant and dignified tastes, and probably from high society.

Even if she was mentally prepared, the moment Sister Su appeared in front of her, she was really amazing.

In the past, Ella felt that the accumulation of too bright colors would only make people feel tacky, but the bright dripping on Sister Su's cheongsam and her full and crystal red lips can make people think of the word "style".

The eyebrows are picturesque, the bright eyes are flowing, looking up and looking back, looking forward to life. Sister Su is such a wonderful person. She walked among the flowers, whether it was peonies, yueji, or camellias, they all lost their color and were ashamed. Such a woman who is more delicate than flowers, but the mind in her heart is a hundred turns, and it is like a rose among thorns, which can only be watched from a distance, and if you want to enjoy it, you will inevitably be pierced and bruised by the thorns it brings.

Sister Su treated Ella very well, prepared a comfortable room for her, delicious meals, and tailored a few clothes for her. However, Ella intuitively knew that Sister Su wanted something from her, but she was not as superficial as Morris, just for the little money every month. What Sister Su wants is Ella's emotions as a human being. She is high up, watching the joys and sorrows of the world coldly, but she is also interested. The more obsessed and obsessed the world is, the more joyful and satisfied she is. Ella, who has been observing words and expressions in the shadows for many years, understands that Sister Su is not someone she can get out of control.

When she first arrived at Sue's sister's house, it was Roddy who was in charge of taking care of Ella. Roddy doesn't seem to have much interest in anything, and he only acts on the spot. People who don't have extravagant expectations for all things in the world will not like anything, let alone love deeply. Such talents are the most terrifying. They ignore the seven emotions and six desires, love and hatred of human beings, and play with people's hearts from an absolutely rational position. There will be no pity, no pity.

But after spending months with Roddy, Ella notices a subtle change in Roddy. Roddy's change came suddenly, not gradually, slowly, but suddenly, without warning. Ella didn't know what Roddy had been through outside, but she found that Roddy had a human touch in his eyes, more like a human. But he still pretended to be the same as before, which only made people more incomprehensible about him.

"Ann, do you think something happened to Roddy?"

By this time, Ella was able to talk to Ann face to face, and when she closed her eyes, she could see a room that was much the same as the room in the previous experimental base, except with an extra window. Settle in this room, and Ella will come to this room when she closes her eyes.

Ann's appearance is exactly the same as Ella's, the difference is that Ann has long hair and Ella has short hair, and both of them have natural hair curls at the ends.

Ann lay on the bed, bored, and did not answer.

"Ann, did you hear me?"

"I hear you." She shuffled.

"What do you think happened to Roddy?" Ella repeated her question.

"Trapped by love." Ann buried her head in the pillow, nonchalant.

No way, Allah thought, that could never happen to Roddy. But it seems quite interesting that the person who is interested in this conjecture and manipulates people's hearts is manipulated by others.

"Can you seriously answer my question?"

"The answer doesn't matter, Ella, we are killers, killers cultivated by Sister Su's men. Who is Roddy? Luo Di is also the eyeliner that Sister Su has planted outside. We just need to complete the tasks assigned by Sister Su, and the rest has nothing to do with us. ”

Is it? If given the choice, Ella doesn't want to be a killer. So does Roddy also have no choice?

"Ann, do you like to kill?"

"Nonsense! Of course I do. Especially when you can play with your prey. ”

Ella stopped talking. Ella is now nine years old and looks like a little girl, and with the deceptive nature of her appearance, Ella's assassination mission has been successfully completed every time. She is clean and never dragging, but Ann likes to torture her target slowly to death. Ella was a little disgusted by this. Ella doesn't hate killing, but she doesn't like torture either. The sticky blood reminds Ella of Resley. Resley's life was taken mercilessly, and Ella is now taking the lives of others, and Ella has a hidden guilt in her heart.

Ella and Ann, the difference in their behavior is too great, and they soon attract the attention of Roddy and Sister Su. They guessed that there was another person living in Ella's body, and Ella didn't deny it.

Roddy taught Ella a lot about assassination, about the humanities, about the New World. Only then did Ella realize that the world she lived in was only a new world after death, not a real world.

She was "born" in the experimental base, which means that her life in this world ended very early, and when she came to the new world, she would either exist as a baby or disappear immediately, and she had to be transformed to grow up. She was one of the survivors of the human experiments of that year, and her survival was based on millions of lives.

Ella is very unwilling, she has not lived a good life in this world, if she can grow up safely in this world, will there be a happy family? Or will this misfortune also befall you?

The world must be better than here...... No, not necessarily, this world is also constructed by human beings who once lived in the world. Ella was abandoned by the world before she was born, and she still has no place for herself in the new world. Neither in life nor after death, she was not accepted by the world.

"Roddy, did you ever have happiness in your lifetime?"

"There have been times of happiness, but there are still times of misfortune."

"How did you know about your life?"

"I got someone to change my book, and then I went to the Tower of Babel. In the tower, I saw my whole life...... A boring and short life......"

"Are you crazy? I actually found someone to change my book! ”

"Maybe. I just don't want to live like the walking dead...... Ella, do you know how my life on earth ended? ”

"How did it end?"

"The ...... who was killed by his own father" Roddy smiled bitterly, this was the first time Ella saw Roddy's emotions, it was a long and piercing pain.

"Roddy, the new world or the human world, which is the real reality?"

"Wherever there is pain, there is."

Those who have been abandoned by the world no longer have to be responsible for the world.

The little guilt left in Ella's heart for killing people was gone.

When Ella was ten years old, Roddy left Sister Su and went to the Authority. Ella originally thought that Roddy's going to the bureau was also arranged by Sister Su, but when Roddy came back again, not as Sister Su's subordinate, but as an equal customer. He bought information from Sister Su and no longer worked for Sister Su.

Roddy has changed, and it's harder to understand. Previously, he was just cynical and had no purpose. Now, he has an obsession, and in order not to let people discover his purpose, he skillfully creates all kinds of tricks. Deception, trickery, intrigue, everything.

Roddy is not a wicked man, but he is not a good man either.

Most of his kindness to people is not sincere, but just a habit that has been cultivated over the years. He is not good to people, but he is really disgusted. No one knows what the end of Roddy's opponent will be, Roddy is like a predator on the prairie, hiding in the shadows through camouflage, carefully and quietly approaching the prey, and then taking it by surprise and biting off the opponent's neck. This series of actions is cautious and secretive, and the grassland is calm. However, this is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that for the enemy, he generally does not attack himself, but is accustomed to killing people with a knife. Therefore, it is not surprising that Roddy is thriving in the Authority.

"Roddy, can you tell me the truth?"

Once, Luo Di came to Sister Su again to buy information.

"Only this time. What do you want to know. ”

"What the hell do you want to do now?"

"I want to protect someone. Create a real new world for her...... "His voice was low, and he buried secrets, like buried treasures.

"Who is this man?"

"She's sleeping."

Looking into Roddy's eyes, it was as if he was surveying a well, and the tears drawn from the bottom of the well stayed at the mouth of the well, and there was a ghost living at the bottom of the well, and the moment the tears came out of his eyes, he recovered them.

"I see. I won't ask much in the future. ”

"Thank you." Roddy smiled.

"Luo Di, there were so many children in the orphanage at that time, why did you and Sister Su pick me."

"Because of the eyes. The look in your eyes tells me that you are a man who lives in darkness, just like us...... You killed Mrs. Morris, right? ”

Ella nodded, Roddy was so smart, he knew the truth, Ella didn't find it strange at all.

"Ella, I'm sorry, I chose you. If you can, don't fall deeper and deeper into ......"

"Okay......

Ella didn't want to sink deeper and deeper, but Resley was gone, taking all her enthusiasm and hope with her.

She stumbled and stumbled and grew up, only to find that her time was still fixed in the dark night of Mrs. Maurice's house, with no stars or moon outside the window, waiting for a long time but not seeing the dawn.

Previously, she and Ressley were trapped in a cage.

Now, she's alone, trapped in the night.
