Chapter 002: To Save or Not to Save?

In a modern city, a large area is suddenly plunged into darkness, which is definitely a rare sight. It was as if the darkness had opened its mouth and swallowed the entire city that had been brightly lit.

Don didn't change the expression on his face, and the lights of the car flashed on the lenses of his glasses, and the light obscured his eyes, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

The huge thunder at that moment was definitely not a natural phenomenon, and this evening, the girl with the tea-haired cap that Don saw seemed to be flashing with thunder on her body?

Don sighed.

"Looks like I can't eat instant noodles tonight. This kind of widespread power outage is estimated to not be repaired until the next day. There is no hot water at home, why don't you go to the convenience store and buy some compressed biscuits? ”

"But I'm tired of eating all kinds of flavors."

"Good evening."

Just as Don En was looking at the large darkness in the distance and let out a completely incomprehensible sigh from his mouth, a voice as thin as a gossamer came from behind Don En.

Don turned his head to see a man in a black robe, skinny with his hair scattered over his body, crawling into the office.

That's right, it crawled in, giving the impression of a dying traveler, using his last strength, to crawl towards the illusory wellhead in the distance.

"Good evening, Arwen."

Tang En was not surprised by this, but pointed to his computer and said, "I completed the task as planned, and the company's duty will be handed over to you in the next night." ”

"Ah, thank you...... Thank you very much......"

The man named Arwen reached out and grabbed the edge of the desk, struggled to get up against the desk, and then collapsed on the chair.

"I ...... Rest...... After a while, it begins...... Job...... Ha ......"

Tang En lifted his glasses and looked at Arwen as if he would lose his breath at any moment, but said more strict words.

"I've been catching up with the progress recently, and tomorrow the boss will come, and I guess I'll see the results. You know his temper, and although I know you're angry when you wake up, it's better to recover your energy quickly. ”

Tang En threw the coffee box on his desk to Arwen, who caught it in a panic and hurriedly thanked him.

It turns out that this Ah Wen is also an employee here, and it is exactly the kind of little person that the boss said even if he mutates into a strange person, he is still useless.

"It's over...... At 12 o'clock, I ...... Start ......"

Arwen hurriedly assured Don that his ability allowed him to recover his energy only after midnight, and his energy was more than twice that of ordinary people, and such an ability could only be said to be the first choice for night shifts.

As soon as he saw that Tang En was leaving, Ah Wen seemed to suddenly remember something, struggled to stand up, and asked, "Brother Tang...... Someone asked me to ask...... One question......"

"What?"

Shadow ......

"It's over, I'm just an ordinary person now."

Before Arwen finished speaking, Tang En had already answered Arwen's question, and left the office without looking back, leaving Arwen alone, his thin face still dull.

“…… That's the end of it......"

After a long time, he let out a sigh.

Don left the dilapidated office building, as if he had entered another world.

The office building is a dark corner of the city, and out of the office building, the lights of the city are instantly rushing in, flashing lights, noisy voices, and scorching air, which make people's hearts seem to be restless.

But Donn's heartbeat was still steady.

If someone listened to Donn's heartbeat, they would find that his heart was beating as accurately as a pendulum, no more, no less, once a second.

Never speeding up, never slowing down, whether Don is standing, walking, sleeping, even if he is moving at high speed, the amplitude of his heart beating, will not change in the slightest.

Like a machine that can be manipulated with ease, the stylized beats alone are enough to satisfy all the motivation of Donn's physical activity, and more than enough.

It is not only the heartbeat that is accurate, but also the steps of Donn, each step is seventy-six and a half centimeters, accurate to the millimeter, one millimeter is not much, one millimeter is not too much.

All this makes Don like a precision machine, and every move of his body is the best choice made by his body automatically and in line with his own condition. From the heart to the feet, from the breath to the movement of the fingers, everything is vividly reflected in Don's body.

All this is one of the anomalies in Donn.

Donn is now trying to cover up these anomalies, he wants to be a normal person.

Fortunately, no one was idle to eavesdrop on the frequency of Donn's heartbeat, and Don's breathing was light and would not attract attention. Coupled with Donne's cheap and ordinary suit and a pair of dirty black-framed glasses, it will only make people think that this is an office worker who has been worn out of all his passion by reality, a poor weak uncle.

However, no one except a few in the shelter knew that it was just Donn's disguise.

"It's a total of 162 yuan, I said brother, why do you buy so many compressed biscuits, this thing is not delicious?"

The clerk in the supermarket looked at Don in surprise, Don worked nearby, was a frequent customer of the supermarket, and was familiar with the clerk, especially for Don, a man who always bought a lot of cheap food, the clerk was impressed.

"Ah, nothing. Isn't it the weekend tomorrow, I went on a wild camp, which is the team's food for the food, and if something happens to the picnic, I will have to rely on this to eat. ”

"I see. Then you have to pay attention, there is a legend that the supernatural people have been making a lot of trouble recently, maybe a lot of vicious guys have run away to the mountains and forests, is the place you chose safe? ”

"Absolutely safe, it's Tiger Mountain National Park."

"Oh, that's fine. Have a good time, it's time to go out and have fun, look at your bitter and hateful face, take advantage of the weekend to relax more, rest more, smile more, haha. It's so nice, I want to go too......"

"It's not over, there's still a queue in the back!"

Tang En didn't speak, but the aunt behind him had already slapped the radish to the sky, and the clerk immediately licked his face and smiled.

At the same time, Don also breathed a sigh of relief and made him laugh in front of others, which was really not an easy thing to do.

Although Tang En can control the muscles of his face and easily make all kinds of vivid expressions, Tang En does not know what the word laugh means.

He can imitate the smile of the world's superstar, Tom Clering, who is known as a warm man, and even once blushed and fainted at his classmates when he was a student, but he still doesn't know what kind of emotion laughter is.

It wasn't until later that Don finally determined that he was an anomaly, and perhaps the lack of emotions was also one of his anomalies.

Walking alone on the way home, the constant pace and constant frequency make him like an inconspicuous shadow, shuttling through the light and shadow of the city.

Soon after, the light seemed to disappear for a moment, and Donn stood on the left side of a road.

On the left, the lights are bright, and on the right, it's pitch black.

Only the occasional flickering candle and flashlight light in a few windows made it seem that the other side of the road was not another world, a dark world, but only because of a power outage.

Of course, the aunts and uncles in the streets gathered together, talking loudly, and their mouths were full of complaints about the power outage. The old man complained that he couldn't gather to play cards, the grandmother complained that he couldn't gather to fight, the elementary school students ran around the street excitedly, and the high school students squatted on the side of the street with their heads in their gloomy faces.

Yes, most of the time I can't finish my homework.

All this has little to do with Tang En, he walked to the sidewalk, walked across the road, walked from the bright city to the dark city, walked past the uncles and aunts and children, but no one cared about this little white-collar worker who got off work.

The light vanished, and within a few steps Tang En was thrown into the shadows of darkness. A city with no lights at all is no different from a forest, the floors are obscured by the moonlight and starlight, and only a faint color change can be seen in the eye.

Of course, this is for the average person.

Donn's pupils dilated to the limit, instantly expanding the area where the light was received, and the street, which was pitch black for ordinary people, became brighter and brighter in his eyes, and the colors became clearer and clearer.

This is Don En's instinctive reaction, Don En has long been used to these abnormalities in his body, he still walks, walking towards home, and the distance is getting closer and closer.

Then, a figure fell from a small second-story building in the distance and fell to the ground.

The cap fell off the top of her head, revealing her brown hair, which was twisted together, long since the light of the evening was gone.

A flash of lightning came out of her forehead, like a slender hook claw, trying to grab something as she fell, but the next moment it appeared, it shattered and dissipated, and vanished.

Mikoto Misaka closed her eyes and covered her sloppy eyes, she ran out of power, she tried her best, she lost.

Falling from the second floor to the ground, usually Mikoto Misaka would not be hurt in the slightest even if she didn't use her ability, but now, she can only try to hold her head to avoid the greatest damage.

However, she was still head-down, and as a result of such a direct fall, she was either dead or seriously injured.

Before she could hold her head, her hair had already touched the ground, it was a remote alley, and I don't know whose sewer was blocked, and the sewage was flowing sideways.

The first strand of brown hair was instantly stained with the smell of sewage.

Mikoto Misaka lost consciousness - she lost consciousness before she could fall to the ground, perhaps this was the protective mechanism of her brain.

However, if she had been conscious, she would have been shocked to find that only one strand of her hair had been stained with sewage.

Now, her whole body floats in the air, as if time has been stopped.

In the distance, Tang En lifted his glasses, and behind the glasses, there seemed to be an unknown brilliance in those dark eyes.

"Found it, she can't run far!"

"It should be in that direction!"

"Chase!"

Three voices, male and female, came from a distance of about a kilometer in the distance, and Tang En frowned and thought for a while.

He made a decision.

"Smack!"

Mikoto Misaka, who was originally floating in the air, lost the support of her mysterious power, and the whole person fell into the smelly sewage, which soaked her clothes, her hair, and her mobile phone.

Don didn't seem to see all of this and turned away.

"Smack."

The sound of a plastic object falling to the ground rang out behind Donn.
