This time in the labyrinth of the forest, Witt quickly found a clue to break through, that is, the scent of nightshade flowers - this floral fragrance came from a fixed direction, traced away, and the direction was correct, and it became more and more intense. The gunman's senses of sight, hearing, and smell were very sensitive, allowing him to easily determine the source of the scent, so he concentrated his mind and searched for it.

After a few rounds of gunfights with his pursuers in the woods, Witt killed five more Shadows through the shade of the woods and his nimble positioning.

After fleeing for about an hour while fighting, he suddenly heard a sound of water in front of him, and he felt a burst of joy, his pace quickened, and he rushed out of the shrubs that were blocked, and a sparkling oasis lake appeared in sight, and, by the lake, there stood a little boy of about six or seven years old, wearing a white jumpsuit popular in the origin world, with his back to him, and his red hair was particularly eye-catching.

Seeing this back, Witt already had a hunch. He had not taken a few steps forward when the little boy turned around on his own—and it looked like he had been six years old.

Witt exhaled lightly, thinking that this must be some clue, so he asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

The boy replied, "I'll be waiting for you here." ”

"If you have anything to say, hurry up, there are a lot of people chasing me behind." Witt replied that the exhausting series of escapes had made him quite numb and had no energy to make any emotional fluctuations. When he said this, he had no expression on his face.

Unexpectedly, the little boy stepped forward and hugged him: "I'm afraid." He said, "I'm standing here alone, no one really understands me, no one cares about me, even if I'm in the desert, no one comes to me and rescues me...... I knew that only you would come back to me, so I kept waiting...... Wait, wait, wait, wait for a century, you...... It's finally here. ”

"Wait for me?" Witt's heart tightened slightly, but it was quickly wiped away by fatigue and numbness, "I shouldn't be able to help you, we can only rely on ourselves." He bowed his head and said what was on his mind.

"No, if you can't save me, I'll die here alone......" the little boy hugged him tighter and muttered, "Since I was born, I have not been valued by anyone, my parents are not conspicuous in the family system, and the IQ test shows mediocre every time, but the achievement of my parents and personal IQ are the most important elements of the family, and soon, I was put on the list of not being followed." Every family gathering was as small as a speck of dust, no one really spoke to me, and no one really tried to understand my thoughts, because they all thought I was mediocre and incompetent, and those snobbish relatives, where would they waste a little time on me? However, people outside the family can only see the brilliance and wealth of the Lei family, and they are all used and have no sincerity. Do you remember the kidnapping when you were six years old? Didn't the kidnapper say it plainly - the children of your Lei family are a symbol of money in the eyes of outsiders, and no one will hold back from doing it...... I'm so scared, Witt, I'm so lonely...... I'm so lonely. ”

These words struck Witt's heart, but he forcibly took the little boy's hands away from his body, and said coldly: "Who is not lonely? Just get used to it. ”

"But, you can stay with me, we can depend on each other......" the little boy begged him, "only you can understand me, will you stay with me?" I know you're reluctant to leave me. ”

Witt frowned and hesitated for a second, then asked, "Stay here?" It's full of pursuers, and they could hunt us down at any moment and kill us. ”

"No, I won't." The little boy swore an oath, "As long as I'm around, those things won't hurt you." Listen, are those footsteps gone? There are only birds singing and flowers here, and the colors of the lake are really beautiful and pleasant. And...... We're not going to be alone anymore, at least, we're still with each other, aren't we? ”

Witt looked at the boy expressionlessly, and before he could say the answer, a circle of black-clothed people suddenly came out of all directions...... Each of them wears the same black robes as Witt, wears the same Thunderbolt mask, and holds an evolved gun "Raiden" in their hands, and they can escape an entire army of clones.

Witt's heart tightened, and he immediately entered a state of preparation, although he knew that if he really started a war at this moment, he was afraid that there was only one way to die.

At this time, the little boy spoke again: "Don't worry, I said it, as long as you are by my side, they will not make a move on you." ”

Witt looked around nervously, and sure enough, as the child said, although these countless men in black surrounded him, they seemed to be frozen in place, all of them remained in one position, motionless.

He asked again with reckless confirmation: "So, as long as you are around, I am safe, whether in this oasis or outside this oasis?" ”
