Chapter 17 The Shadow of the Past

When I opened my eyes, the burning house had disappeared in front of me, in front of my eyes was the birdcage that trapped me, I looked around, looking for Wu Di's figure, I saw Wu Di, the cheerful and enthusiastic female police officer was now full of tears, her eyes were full of fear, her eyes were always looking at the air in front of me in a daze, laughing for a while, crying for a while, shouting frantically for a while, and the crazy look like dementia suddenly scared me.

"Wu Di, what's wrong with you, hurry up and answer me, Wu Di, look at me, look at me!" I shook her body desperately, Wu Di moved her stiff head to look at me, but I could feel that her eyes did not stay on my face, as if looking at the past through my body.

"Mommy, Mommy." I heard her voice, faint as a mosquito, as fragile as crystal, her body was so cold, I unconsciously took her into my arms, trying to warm her cold body.

"I killed my mother, I killed my mother." I don't know what she's talking about, but I know she's scared, scared, and I don't know how to comfort her well, so I can only hold her body in my arms as much as possible, and gently pat her on the back, so that she can have a shoulder to lean on when she is sad and helpless.

"He knew, he knew, he knew he would be so cruel to me." Wu Di grabbed my clothes tightly when she said this, I covered her hand with my palm, and said with a smile: "If you are sad, tell me, I will accompany you, don't be afraid, I will accompany you." ”

"Conway, let me tell you why I became a police officer." I don't know why Wu Di mentioned this, I subconsciously thanked and nodded to indicate that I knew.

"My mother was killed by someone, by the gangsters who broke into the house, I was very young at that time, my mother was killed by the gangsters to protect me, I was always scared, I feel scared when I think about it, as if I killed my mother alone."

Wu Di's words surprised me, I never thought that this was the reason why she became a policeman, understand the pain of others, and want to protect the weak because I was once a weak, because I have experienced the pain of loss, I will have the strength to want to protect, such a small child is burdened with so much darkness and pain, I can't help but hug her body tighter, gently caressing her soft hair, as if trembling in my arms is that night, the little girl who witnessed her mother being killed.

"Mom is a strong woman, despite the divorce from my father, I still worked hard to raise me, my mother said that she couldn't give me a complete home, she had to make up for my father's share so that I could enjoy double the happiness, my mother said that there are many people who are less fortunate than themselves, they can all live happily, why can't we be strong to face the unsatisfactory life, so I have been trying to live like my mother is so strong, so optimistic."

"Conway, when I opened my eyes, I saw that picture, the most terrifying picture in my memory, my mother was slashed by that bad guy, I knew it was all fake, but I was still scared, I was still afraid, I hugged my mother who was covered in blood, I thought she would never wake up, but, but." Speaking of this, Wu Di subconsciously covered his chest, stuck his head on his knees, and shrunk his whole body into a ball, like a baby in his mother's body.

"Mom suddenly got up and grabbed my neck, I was about to suffocate, I was about to be strangled to death by my mother, my mother kept saying that I hurt her, I hurt her, if it wasn't for protecting me, she wouldn't die, if it wasn't for me, she would be very happy, I know it's all fake, it's all fake, but I still, I can't do it, because that's my mother, it's someone I care about." Wu Di suddenly hugged his head, and his tears had flowed a lot unconsciously, like an open faucet, which would never end.

"Don't think about it, it's all over, it's all over, don't be sad, it's all over." I took away her hands that were desperately covering her ears, took them in my own, and rubbed them slowly, as if this was the only way to give her the courage to face everything.

"I burned my mother to death with flames, only in this way, only by overcoming the shadow of my past, can I really gain the power to protect them, Conway, if I become a one-eyed person, if my consciousness disappears completely, what will happen to you, will it be painful, I can't let my friend fight alone, I want to accompany you and fight together!"

"Wu Di." I saw Wu Di raise his head, gradually, I saw the light of the stars in the desperate eyes like a dark abyss, Wu Di nodded at me and said: "I have experienced a lot of cruel battles with my comrades, where I have lost a lot of friends, many partners who fought with me, there have been despair, there have been pain, but I know that I have the responsibility to protect them, I am the captain, I can't if anyone falls, I still have to take them to fight together, no matter how many hardships and dangers there are behind, I'm going to be with you to the end, Conway, I can't leave my comrades behind, so I'm back, thank you. ”

"Wu Di, I am the one who really wants to say thank you." I smiled and shook her hand, and at this moment I felt a kind of happiness, the happiness of being guarded.

"Alas, what a happy couple." I heard the clapping, and I saw Junxi slowly coming in front of me, but there was still a nasty birdcage between us.

"I didn't expect you to defeat the one-eyed man in your body, it's really amazing!" Junxi continued to slap as she spoke, one after another, extremely rhythmic.

"Junxi, what do you want to do when you let us duel with the one-eyed man in our body!" After I finished speaking, Junxi tapped his finger on his arm and said, "Conway, do you know, all one-eyed people are very arrogant, they have the strongest willpower soul, one-eyed people will not lose to the weak, only a duel with the strong can stimulate the power in their bodies." ”

"You're looking for the best one-eyed genes." As soon as I finished speaking, Junxi shook his head and said, "Do you know how to be a good hunter?" Only by catching the most difficult prey can you become the best hunter, and from now on our death race will really begin, even if you want to escape, you can't escape, don't forget the mark on your hand. ”

"Death match, what do you mean, Junxi, what do you want to do!" If it weren't for that hateful bird cage in the way, I would have grabbed Junxi's clothes and punched him in the face, Junxi glanced at me and snorted softly and said: "The death contest is very terrifying, I believe that you will slowly surrender to me, and your will will be slowly disintegrated by me, I have time, and then you will be my strongest weapon." ”

Junxi's words have been lingering in my ears, I looked at Junxi, Junxi also looked at me quietly, through this bird cage, we are on opposite sides, no longer friends, no longer partners, but enemies, thinking of this I punched the ground hard, is it really fate, if so, why be so cruel.
