In the dim underworld, where the divine light does not shine, the smell of dampness and decay spreads on the tip of the nose.

The overalls on her body were soaked, and her pants were covered with mud, but she didn't care anymore.

"Mina." Suddenly, an illusory voice rang in her ears.

She was startled and looked up suddenly.

Not far away, an old woman in a black raincoat was hunched over, holding a black garbage bag in her hand, and the dim light reflected the colorful light on the oily cloth bag.

The old woman's hair hung low, and her bright eyes stared at Mina through the few long gray hairs stained with mud and sweat.

If it had been normal, Mina would have screamed and run away.

But at this moment, for some reason, Mina did not have the slightest fear, slowly got up, and looked at the old woman. "You know me?"

"Of course I know you." The old woman's voice was slightly hoarse, as if she had been caught in the vicissitudes of life.

Carrying the garbage bag, the old woman walked towards Mina, her voice still echoing in the abandoned wasteland. "Crying can't be exchanged for love, and crying can't change reality, why are you crying?"

Mina's body shuddered slightly. "So what can I do?"

"Poor boy." As she spoke, the old woman had come to Mina, her eyes unusually clear in the darkness as if they could penetrate everything.

"Do you feel like you have nothing?"

Mina nodded subconsciously.

The old woman stretched out her hand and held up Mina's pointed chin, like a mother looking at her daughter, full of pity: "Child, do you want to know what Li Xiang thinks in his heart?" ”

Mina nodded vigorously.

"Do you want to know where you are headed?"

Mina nodded again.

"Have you ever thought that such a heavy world weighs on him, and even the love you consider noble is only one of his burdens?"

Without waiting for Mina to answer, the old woman stared into her eyes and continued: "I also secretly like him, Chen Hong has found a path of his own, but what about you?" ”

"And me?" Mina muttered.

"Child, you should also have your own life." The old woman put Mina in her arms and gently stroked her back.

Mina had stopped crying.

Everything that had happened in the past half a month passed through her mind, and she knew that what the old woman said was the truth.

If you stay where you are, you will be abandoned.

Even the current Chen Hong is closer to Li Xiang than she is, and there are more topics and contacts.

"Mother-in-law, do you know him too?" Mina asked.

The old woman's clear eyes suddenly burst into bursts of light, and she looked up, as if the moon was still clearly imprinted in her eyes even from a few hundred meters away.

"There are few people in this world who know him earlier than me."

"And do you think he's going to like me?" Mina was a little aggrieved.

The old woman smiled, stroking Mina's silky black hair. "Silly boy, whether you are or Chen Hong, before he met Haruko, what is the difference between you and this ordinary public?"

"Who is Haruko?" Mina said anxiously.

"Do you want to see her?" The old woman asked with a smile as she looked into Mina's eyes.

Mina nodded affirmatively. It was hard for her to imagine what kind of person could make Li Xiang, who had never revealed a trace of personal feelings, so obsessed.

"You'll be able to see her soon if you want." The old woman seemed to be disturbed by some memory in her heart, and her eyes became confused.

Sixty years later, what would Haruko feel if she knew that he was still alive?

"Mother-in-law, how do I go my own way?" Mina asked.

The old woman smiled, "Can you make up your mind to leave him now?" ”

Mina frowned.

"If you can't put it down, what's the point of where you are?" The old woman let go of Mina, waved her hand, and said, "Go back, go back to him, and cherish the last moments." ”

Mina took two steps, suddenly thought of something, turned her head and asked, "Mother-in-law, if I figure it out, how can I find you?" ”

The old woman's clear eyes flashed. "When you really figure it out and walk out the door, you'll be able to see me."

"Mother-in-law, thank you, I'm in a much better mood." Mina laughed and ran away.

The old woman smiled with satisfaction, looked at the cheerful figure, and murmured, "Long live freedom." ”

It's just that Mina, who went far away, didn't hear it at all.

Under the light of God, District 13 is calm and peaceful, and the orderly life of almost everyone living at the bottom has no time to think about what is happening in other corners of the world.

They dedicate their time and lives to the dream of being born again.

Only the occasional wave can make them look away and start to talk about it.

In all the news, the first on the list is always the movement of the temple.

When the Dividing Temple of Area C officially launched the investigation of a young man named Li Xiang, the entire 13D District seemed to suddenly come to life again.

Who is blasphemous?

Who is ignoring the rules?

Aren't you afraid that you will be reborn as a beast in the next life?

In the midst of that discussion, the three major groups in Area C, the Shenguang Li family, the Qingli Qian family, and the Changqingmu family, finally announced the results of the investigation into Huang Xinguo's suicide outside the temple.

"Li Xiang will take full responsibility for Huang Xinquan's death, and hope that he will surrender himself to the temple, and the temple will mercifully give a touch of purifying divine light."

On the day the results of the investigation came out, the atmosphere in the Starlight Casino was extremely heavy.

Chen Hong and Mina sat wordlessly on either side of Li Xiang, their heads bowed, their faces were hard to see, and Boss Yang and Li Xiaoping sat opposite each other, also silent.

Grace also arrived with several core members of Black Snake.

"Divine light is a death sentence. I think everyone should be aware. Grace broke the silence.

The mountain wind smashed his fist on the work in a rage, and almost smashed the table. "This group of bitches raised it too much."

This group of people hiding in the underground world are more or less in the world above, just like the core bosses of Black Snake, who have been making a fortune by taking over some shady tasks for many years, and the number of people who died at their hands was definitely no less than ten.

Boss Yang and Li Xiaoping glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Once it comes to the temple, it doesn't help to have the ability to reach the heavens. They knew better than anyone that if they hadn't offended the people of the Mu family, the two of them wouldn't have to put away all their belongings and hide in this place where they would never see the divine light.

"Li Xiang, I think you better leave District 13." Grace thought about it for a long time, but finally decided that this was the safest way to go.

Maybe the temple's wanted notice will slowly extend to other regions, but as long as you stay incognito, there is still a certain chance.

Despair creeps through the office.

Everyone's eyes fell on Li Xiang.

"It seems that everyone doesn't believe that I killed Huang Xinquan?" Li Xiang said suddenly.

Grace thought of the scene of their first meeting, and subconsciously glanced at Agu, with a smile on his face: "If you were the kind of person who killed indiscriminately, would our brothers still be alive now?" ”

Although it was only a few contacts, Boss Yang also expressed his own opinions.

"I've heard about it, but if you want to blame Li Xiang for it, it's obvious that someone is secretly doing it."

Li Xiang's eyes were blazing, and he looked at everyone: "Since everyone knows in their hearts that I am innocent, why should I run away?" ”

Agu never speaks around the corner. "If you don't run, you'll die, are you really like those fools in Zone D, thinking that you can be reborn if you are purified by divine light? There is not even ash left, and the dead cannot die anymore. That's used to deceive fools. ”

Before he could finish speaking, the bald head had already slapped Grace.

Li Xiang, Chen Hong, and Mina are all from Area D. This guy really doesn't talk a brain.

But everyone present knew that Ogu was telling the truth.

"I don't believe that human beings have lost even the most basic sense of right and wrong in the face of faith?" Li Xiang said seriously. "Didn't they want me to turn myself in? I also wanted to go in and see what the so-called temple looked like. ”

"Li Xiang, don't go." Mina blushed.

Even though her faith was shattered, Mina was still well aware of the temple's place in everyone's mind.

"No one will listen to you, you trust me, don't go." Chen Hong calmed down a lot.

"Don't worry, I'm going to face this after all." Li Xiang stood up.
