On the streets, the wilderness is desolate, and the buildings have become dusty under the strong wind, and occasionally people come and go, and they are indeed in a hurry, and the corners of the streets are full of beggars, or hungry people who have starved to death, and there is a smell of decay in the air, which makes people a little sickened.

"Thank you so much today, I don't know what your name is?" Ingrid smiled slightly, and she and Haidai walked down the street, their faces full of exhaustion.

"Oh, my name is Haidai." Haidai made a gesture of not caring.

"Why did you save me?" Ingrid had a lot of doubts in her mind.

"Because of the beauty of your birth, I can't extricate myself." Haidai teased.

"Why, exactly?" Ingrid has an indescribable trust in this man, and she understands that the man in front of her will not lead her into the abyss again.

"Okay, I won't talk to you poorly, I'll also explain my intentions." Haidai's face became serious, and then she took off a thick coat from her body and draped it on Ingrid's body: "I don't know what kind of inhuman treatment you have suffered, what kind of undeserved pain you have endured, but in this era, there are still many people like you"

"Anyway, thank you for the rescue!" Ingrid couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat at these words, but her heart was suddenly worried about her two younger sisters. I don't know what is going on with my two weak sisters, it's been a year and a half since the last time I ran away, I'm really worried......

Haidai has never felt so cramped as she does now, when she is with her teammates on weekdays, she is a nonsensical warrior who laughs and laughs, but at the moment there is an indescribable nervousness, but this nervousness is not shown in front of Ingrid: "It's just a gesture, and the days will be better in the future." ”

Ingrid, while walking towards the dilapidated house where she and her two sisters depended on each other, took a heavy, brisk step, and stroked her loose hair, and asked with a sideways face, "That"

As soon as the words came out, he suddenly changed his tone and said, "Brother Haidai, what are you doing!" ”

Haidai didn't make any surprised expressions and movements, although Ingrid already trusted him very much, but as far as Haidai was concerned, the girl in front of him was just a guy he had just met, so Haidai seemed to find some serious feelings, and naturally returned: "I'll sell this question first, and you will naturally understand later." By the way, where are you going now? ”

Ingrid's answer will not be two.

"I want to go home as soon as possible, I want to see my two little sisters soon!"

"Sister?" Haidai was a little stunned: "You want to"

"I was under house arrest for a year and a half, and I don't know where my sisters are"

Haidai knew that this was a sensitive topic, and immediately changed and said: "Are you hungry or not, I'll go to the supermarket in front of you to buy you something to eat!" ”

After some tossing, she was really hungry, and some hope suddenly rose in Ingrid's heart, hoping that these things could be given to her sister: "Okay, let's go together!" ”

Turning a corner in front, there is a simple small supermarket, which sells very few things, but the basic food is still available, the owner of this shop looked at the two guests vigilantly, holding a hunting crossbow tightly in his hand, for fear that this group of people would take something and run away. Ingrid didn't have a choice, just took the last butter-stained bread on the counter.

After settling the account, Haidai not only asked curiously: "Ingrid, so much, have you finished eating?" ”

Ingrid pretended that everything was fine, as if she had only been away from home for half a day, and happened to meet a kind person like Haidai on the road, and paid for her to buy her a lot of food, "These are my two sisters' favorite food, Linda likes to pour a little milk in a bowl and dip it in butter bread, and Lina likes to hold butter bread in one hand and drink milk in a big gulp." These are all treatments that only had when Dad was there, but then Dad ......"

Unexpectedly, this girl who had been away from home for more than a year was still thinking about her two little sisters, Haidai picked up the bread and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he swallowed the words back, he organized the language again, and said, "Then let's go quickly." ”

At this time, it was evening, the sky was gray, as if this dark and inhumane world, it was normal for the road to have frozen bones, and some did not even have ragged clothes to cover their shame, and of course there were some people who were so hungry that there were only a bunch of sallows left and a trace of breath.

Ingrid led Haidai down the familiar road, but there was a sense of foreboding in her heart, when it began to drizzle in the sky, and then the dim and dilapidated neon lights, Ingrid was getting closer and closer to home.

Half an hour later, Ingrid stopped suddenly, and as far as the eye could see, it was all desolate, with the occasional stench and a few disgusting flies buzzing back and forth.

In addition to these, there are many hungry and ragged beggars, who tirelessly toss and turn in the garbage, and who are happy to turn over and over the leftovers left by ordinary rich people, and occasionally see a chicken bone, and are so happy that they are happy for a long time, and if they are found by other beggars in the vicinity, a "dog eats dog" battle will be staged, and in the end it may be another beggar who will benefit.

"Wow......" The emotions that have been accumulated for a long time suddenly exploded, in Ingrid's memory, this was the paradise of their three sisters, you must know that although the three of them lived a difficult life at that time, but the three sisters supported each other but also felt warm, but the former paradise has now become a gathering place for those poor people, a garbage dump for the rich, how lamentable, ridiculous and sad.

A moment later, as if crazy, Ingrid ran away, not giving Haidai any defense. Walking through the garbage and beggars' piles, you will often step on some foul-smelling household garbage under your feet, which are the residues of the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and the gluttonous feast in the mouths of many beggars.

Occasionally, she would be tripped by a beggar who had been dead for an unknown amount of time, but all this would not be noticed by Ingrid, who kept running, and the night wind swept the yellow sand on Ingrid's face, and the water on her face was wiped dry by the wind and sand before it could drip down.

Ahead, a little further ahead is the small dilapidated house of the former three sisters, one staggered, Ingrid's whole body involuntarily leaned forward, her whole face was hidden in the puddle, muddy water mixed with rotten food, wiped with her hand, the whole face was as bright as light.

Ignoring the pain all over her body, Ingrid struggled to get up and climbed over a small mountain of garbage, only to find that her former house had long been unrecognizable, full of garbage and the bodies of people who did not know whether they were alive or dead.

"Linda, Lena......" Ingrid sobbed hoarsely, and her hoarse and helpless cries echoed throughout the junkyard, "where are you, my sister is back and has brought you your favorite butter bread!" ”

Haidai stood aside, helpless, not knowing how to teach Ingrid to accept the cruel reality, this is what Haidai wanted to tell her just now, her two younger sisters have mostly gone to heaven in the past year and a half.

Ingrid stood on the edge of the huge pit, her call was not answered, she jumped and jumped in, all of which Haidai did not expect, and at this moment he was surrounded by beggars, because they were attracted by Ingrid's words, and everyone looked at the bread in Haidai's hand, eager to bury their whole heads directly into Haidai's arms like a giraffe, and have a good meal.

Haidai didn't care much, threw the bread in his hand, and jumped into the garbage pit that Ingrid jumped into.

"Ingrid!" Haidai rushed towards her: "That's why I saved you!" Because you can change it all! You have great power! You can make it impossible for your tragedy to happen again! ”

"Change? Don't tease me" Ingrid's tone couldn't hear her emotions, she seemed to be crying, and she seemed to be laughing, with hope in her tone, but also mixed with resentful cursing: "If it weren't for my sister, I would have died a long time ago, and that torture can't be seen casually." ”

"It seems that you don't know how strong you really are." Haidai sighed and squeezed Ingrid's hand: "I don't know if this has any effect"

"What do you want to do?"

"What for?" Haidai gritted his teeth and roared as if he wanted to use all his strength: "Let you see and see!" Your power! ”

With that, Ingrid's gaze began to change.

The drifting wind and sand suddenly stopped.

You can't feel the wind.

Doesn't feel movement.

Time seems to have stopped passing, and the world has stopped moving as if it were fainting.

"Time and space manipulation" Haidai's voice rang out, and the voice trembled: "I didn't expect it"

But at the moment, the most worried is still Ingrid.

"What the hell is going on!?"

"Your abilities! Ingrid! Haidai smiled: "You are a superpower, you can manipulate time." ”

"Manipulating time? I? Ingrid was stunned, but quickly came back to her senses: "But I didn't do anything"

"It's your power, but I initiated it." Haidai calmly explained: "I am the same kind of person as you, I also have superpowers, I can copy other people's abilities at will and use them for my own use, this world where time stops is the miracle caused by your ability." ”

"Time" Ingrid's eyes were a little confused: "Can I find my sister?" ”

"Who knows, but if you work hard," Haidai encouraged: "Work hard, there will always be gains." ”

"Don't give people that hope, you know." A pleasant bass sounded out of nowhere.

"This voice" Haidai's hair suddenly stood on end: "Void Redemption!?" ”

"Void Redemption?" Ingrid was puzzled: "Is it human?" ”

"Do you remember who Lao Tzu is!" The angry scolding followed, accompanied by a roar, a pitch-black shadow quickly shuttled from the sky, the cold green light shone brightly, accompanied by the twilight composed of the wind and sand of the night, this shadow came straight to Haidai, Haidai looked flustered, not knowing how to respond.

"Didn't you say that! Talking can't solve things! Are you going to do it again!? The shadows were approaching, and Ingrid could see clearly, it was a young man.

The cold face, the angry expression, the shoulder-length hair, the black mixed with a lot of snow white, one eye glowing green, surrounded by a pitch-black ghost, the left hand is a mechanical arm, is doing a flying kick and going straight to Haidai

This was Ingrid's first impression of Void Redemption.

"Forget it, you're right" Haidai seemed to admit his fate, with a look of open expression.

Smack――――――

There was a twisted crashing sound, and the leather shoes of the young man who flew over sank into Haidai's face, and Haidai fell down without snorting.

"Huh?" Stepping on Haidai's face, Redemption turned his head and looked at Ingrid: "What's your name?" ”

The "Ingrid" girl was a little overwhelmed.

"Full name!?"

"Ingrid Lilith"

"Your space-time stagnation is really difficult to overcome, I've been trapped by your stagnation space-time for more than ten seconds, but forget it." Redemption clapped his hands: "Ingrid, I am the leader of the Special Operations Group of the Protectorate Army, and the direct commander of Haidai. My code name is Void Redemption, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

"Hello"

"As you can see, your family is probably no longer alive" Redemption pointed to the desolate territory in front of him, his eyes seemed to show a throbbing: "This is a tragedy, expected, but there is nothing we can do about it. ”

"yes, I should have understood," Ingrid smiled wryly.

"But who knows where your family is?" Redemption looked at the girl who was paralyzed in the garbage heap and said solemnly: "Don't jump to conclusions until you see the corpse." By the way, what do you do next? ”

"Me?" Ingrid was a little overwhelmed: "I'm an ordinary person, what can I do"

"That's not what I'm asking." Redemption looked unhappy: "I'm asking you what to do tomorrow?" What about the day after tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? How did you spend this month? How will you spend next year!? Do you want to be a prostitute again? ”

"This" Ingrid was taken aback by the man's momentum: "I have to go to my sister, you're right, I can't give up if I don't see the tombstone"

"Well said." After the redemption was finished, he walked towards Ingrid with a pleasant step.

"What are you going to do" Ingrid looked at the fierce man in front of her, and she didn't know what was going on, and before she could finish speaking, redemption began to act.

Redemption stomped on Ingrid's head, and Ingrid was caught off guard.

The kick pressed Ingrid to the ground with incredible force, and Ingrid's fair face creaked against the slippery filth, but she had no strength to get rid of it.

"Please get out of the way!"

"Struggle! Please! Redemption's cold eyes pierced Ingrid: "Could it be that you actually enjoy the pleasure of this ravage?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!? Let go of your feet! ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"Why!? Is it right to step on someone else's face!? ”

"Don't talk about that, answer it again, my question: how are you going to survive next!?"

"I'm looking for my sister," Ingrid's words were tinged with tears.

"Oh? It's a hard road, and what would you do if a big bastard like me stepped on you, appeared in front of you, and made you enjoy a fish and water for him? ”

“！” Ingrid was stunned.

"So, what do you do in the future?" Redemption loosens its feet.

Inexplicable anger struck her back in the heart, and Ingrid jerked to her feet and threw a punch towards redemption.

Redemption didn't dodge, just jerked his knee and pushed it against Ingrid's lower abdomen.

Thinking stalled on the spot.

Loss of control of the body.

Ingrid's slender body flew violently, to a ridiculous height, and then plunged into the dirt.

The pain was uncomfortable, the pain from the inside out, this was not at all the same level as Maktoum's torture, the never-used flesh was calling for warning, the world was gone, I wanted to vomit but couldn't, my stomach twitched, I struggled a few times, and finally vomited out, tears, stomach juice, and that snot, slid down my cheeks.

Redemption ignored that, and the shiny boot then kicked Ingrid in the throat.

Her neck rattled and tilted in the other direction, thick blood slamming out of her throat.

Redemption seems to be on the rise.

Another kick on the girl's stomach.

Kicked off the road.

Another kick in the lower abdomen.

Kicked in the cheek, kicked into the distance again.

Pushing your toes against your chest, the air in your lungs is knocked out.

He was pulled by his hair again and kicked in the stomach.

Ingrid cried indistinctly.

Then, Redemption raised his hand and slapped the girl in the face countless times, literally countless slaps.

Blood mixed with tears splattered, and it didn't take long for Ingrid to experience an incredible fear, a fear even more terrible than Maketoum's.

"As for pain, I still have a little research." Redemption looked at Ingrid in front of him: "It's not even a greeting. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Ingrid held her head and shrunk into a ball, apologizing for some unknown reason, her eyes were tightly closed, and she still coughed up some blood from time to time, trembling all over.

The twelve-year-old's heart is really fragile, the girl's momentum is long gone, the body is already crying, and the spirit is scrambling to surrender.

The face, lower abdomen, and wrists are all hurting, it's terrible, and the man in front of me is terrible! The tears made her a little blind, the blood mixed with stomach acid made it difficult for her to breathe, and this man called Void Redemption just looked at her quietly, making her terrified.

But even if she was beaten so badly, Ingrid didn't expect that such a man would be Haidai's chief, this person is too different from Haidai, but it seems that this is also a matter of course, she only trusts Haidai, and she shouldn't have more hope for others.

"Are you alright?" Redemption asked as if watching a play.

There was no response, and Ingrid just struggled to get to her feet.

"Alas," Redemption sighed heavily, and then—

He grabbed Ingrid by the collar and lifted it aloft.

A punch and a hard nail into the girl's stomach.

"Ahem--" The girl struggled to break free of the terrible mechanical arm.

But she couldn't break free.

Redemption is like this, punch after punch, so that the girl really feels the pain, but not fainting.

In the end, the girl didn't even have the strength to cry, but hung on the hand of redemption, paralyzed like mud, and all that could be sure of her life or death was the slight movement of her little breasts.

"Weak, weak, powerless. Such a person can only be defiled in this world! ”

The girl shuddered.

"Weak guy. There is only one destiny. ”

Ingrid barely moved her fingers, as if she wanted to do something.

"I just miss my sister"

"And then?" Redemption half-crouched down: "That's it? ”

"I miss them"

"You can't live without your family." Salvation looked at the visitor: "Let's see if that's the case." ”

As he spoke, Redemption grabbed the girl by the neck.

"Come on, have some fun."

Ingrid's eyes widened, her feet fluttering.

"Just kidding!?" The girl's will completely disintegrates.

The man in front of him will really put her to death! It's not a joke!

"Accept the facts, weak you, you will only die miserably in this world, I just let this day come sooner. You're welcome, it's a gesture. ”

"Ahem—no, I don't want to"

"What don't you want?" Redemption let go of the force in his hand and said, "Don't want to? ”

"I don't want to cough cough, I don't want to die!"

Redemption's brow furrowed.

Then, he continued to choke the girl's neck.

"Don't want to die? Anyone can do it, but as long as they don't die, can they be like walking meat? Salvation does not take into account the vitality of the dying girl: "Remember! "Don't want to die" won't solve the problem at all! You have to live with the intention of living! Born like a human! Live like a human! Dead like a man! ”

Then Salvation let go of his hand: "Say! What are you going to do next!? ”

"I want to live!" Ingrid struggled to say something like that.

"It's not enough to just live! You have what you can do! Come with me! I'll give you a stage! A chance! Redemption gently stroked the girl's head: "Do you want to change the world!?" ”

Ingrid suddenly understood the thoughts of the young man in front of her.

This young man wanted her to see the madness of the world and save her from the end of the road, and for this reason, this man did not hesitate to violence.

He didn't even hesitate to throw her to Lord Yama.

What an outrageous and capricious concern

"Change the world! Your tragedy must not be repeated. Redemption picked up the girl and wiped the dirt from her face: "Let's find your sister together on the way to change the world." ”

With that, Redemption held out a hand to the girl.

"I don't have much to live anyway, you're right"

Ingrid rested her small, slender hand on the cold right hand of redemption.

"Welcome aboard the thief ship, Ingrid. The world will be better for us. Redemption said, carrying Haidai, who was unconscious on the side: "Ingrid, let's go, we still have work to do." ”

Ingrid takes a heavy step and joins the Redemption Special Operations Group.

"I'll find your Linda Lena"
