In the taxi on the way back,

Gao Qian sat up straight with his hands on his lap, and the light and shadow of a street lamp passed quickly across his face, making the handsome face with bright facial features a little elusive.

Xiao Qian beside her, bowed her head and fiddled with her mobile phone, quietly peeking at Gao Qian's face from time to time, and swallowed it hesitantly when she wanted to open her mouth to say something several times.

High potential to clear your mind.

In just a few days, his perception of the world has changed dramatically. Like a simple three-dimensional model that has been shattered, now in front of Gao Qian is a bizarre and fragmented world: the human world, the demon world, the scavenger, the demon, the red knight, the child of the blood of the gods, the children of the blood of the demons, the wolves, the vampires......

What else?

If even fantastical creatures like vampires are real and mingle with the crowd, are witches real? Warlocks, elves, trolls, goblins, are they all real?

He remembered the little girl Zhang Wu who loved to talk and laugh in the office opposite him, could she be a witch? She always half-jokingly said that if he urged her to work again, she would poison him, and she also had a black cat. And Shang Ke, who is in the same group as himself, could he be a vampire? His face is always so pale, his personality is strange and cold, and he holds a sealed cup of drink with a lid all day long, and no one knows what is inside.

It was as if the world was washing away layers of whitewashed camouflage in front of him, revealing a body covered in scabies and abscesses, ugly but real.

Gao Qian's hand on his lap slowly clenched into a fist.

"Gao Qian, are you angry?" Gui Xiaoqian's cautious voice came from beside him.

Why should he be angry? He just needs to think clearly, think clearly about the world, and think clearly about his plans.

Gao Qian faintly looked out the window at the speeding scenery.

New worlds have opened their doors to him, and they are there whether he likes them or not. Even if he covers his eyes and ears, they won't let him go, just like the demons on the subway, the knights on the elevated road, and ......

Gao Qian looked at Gui Xiaoqian silently.

Gui Xiaoqian, who had been secretly observing the high dive, lowered her head in a panic, the high diving's gaze was deep, difficult to understand, and there was something that made her nervous.

"That ......," she muttered, "I know you're upset, I asked Li Si for a mobile phone number......

"He's a vampire, I should have stayed away. Like a schoolboy, she continues to admit her mistakes when facing her teacher.

High Diver stared out the window.

Xiao Qian quietly lifted her eyelids, her eyes turned on Gao Qian's indifferent face, her heart was crossed, and she simply said in one breath: "However, it's rare to encounter such a thing as a real vampire, you don't know how fierce the competition is in our industry." My tens of thousands of followers sound like a lot, but they're all false. Today they are my fans, tomorrow they may abandon me and become fans of other streamers. If I don't show you something new, my popularity will soon decline, and it won't be long before no one remembers me. ”

"Popularity?" Gao Qian's gaze finally fell on Xiao Qian's face, "So you went to shoot that red-armored knight on the elevated highway without regard for safety, and even dealt with dangerous vampires, all for the sake of ridiculous popularity?"

Xiao Qian's face became solemn: "This is not ridiculous. High diving, you have your ideals, your goals, I also have mine, who is not a little more noble than whose ideals. In fact, sometimes, I feel that my live broadcast room is my life, and if one day I really lose popularity, I would rather die. ”

The corners of Gao Qian's mouth pulled up a hint of mockery. Young people who have never experienced the catastrophe of life and death are always easy to die. They had never seen the contorted faces of the near-death approach, nor had they heard the screams of despair when they were terrified. They don't know what a precious gift it is to be alive, and how many people don't care about life and death just to make others live better.

Maybe Gao Qian didn't understand it before, but in this short period of less than twenty-four hours, too many things have happened, and he thinks he has changed.

However, Gao Qian was not interested in preaching to Xiao Qian now, he looked out the window again, and talked about an irrelevant topic: "Why did you ask me for help today? Although I called back later, it was you who first revealed the information that you are very dangerous in the message. Gao Qian looked directly at Gui Xiaoqian, "So I want to know why, why you chose not to call for help to the police, or your boyfriend, or other relatives, but me." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Qian was stunned by Gao Qian's words, and it took a long time before she said, "I don't know either...... Maybe it's because I'm messaging you at the time, maybe it's because ...... I think you're a good person. ”

"And I don't have a boyfriend either. Xiao Qian added quietly.

Gao Qian looked at the dark shadows of the buildings flying by outside the window and did not speak, until Xiao Qian was disappointed and thought that he hadn't heard at all, he slowly spoke: "Do you know that if it weren't for me today, you would probably be detained there and become a victim of the dispute between vampires and human-wolves." ”

Xiao Qian's face turned pale instantly: "Victim?"

"There has been a long-standing grudge between the two tribes, the human wolf and the vampire, and Li Si killed a human wolf because of you. Your presence has become very sensitive at this moment, and at any moment a great war may break out between the two races because of you, because your disposal belongs to the human wolf. ”

"What do you mean?" Xiao Qian panicked, and her voice became louder.

Gao Qian looked at the driver in front of him who was concentrating on driving, raised his index finger on his lips and made a silent gesture, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, the war between the two tribes is not just a fight." It's just that you should not stay in this city anymore, and I suggest that you leave by train early tomorrow morning. ”

"Going, where are you going?" Xiao Qian looked at Gao Qian blankly.

Gao Qian frowned slightly: "Go back to your hometown, your parents, or go to relatives, anywhere." This city is no longer safe for you, as long as you get out of here, anywhere is better than here. ”

"If I don't leave, those man-wolves will kill me, maybe the vampires will think I'm a nuisance and hand me over to the man-wolves?"

Gao Qian looked at Gui Xiaoqian expressionlessly: "You know that they are not humans. ”

"But ......" Xiao Qian looked at Gao Qian's face, but it seemed that she had seen a long distance through Gao Qian, her voice fluttered like a dead leaf swirling in the wind, "I am an orphan...... I don't have parents, I don't have any relatives, I don't even have any real friends. I bought that little apartment with all my savings, this is my home, you asked me to leave the city, I really don't know where to go. ”

Xiao Qian's big round eyes were clouded with a layer of mist: "If you leave here, can you escape those human wolves? Are there no traces of them in other cities?High diving, if I have to be killed by them, I hope to die here, this is my home, do you understand?"

Gao Qian looked at Gui Xiaoqian silently, looking at the tears on her eyelashes, shining with crystal light in the light and shadow that passed quickly. Then the tear shuddered and ran down her cheek, leaving a wet trail on her delicate skin.

An inexplicable anger suddenly surged in Gao Qian's heart:

"What are you crying about!"

"I'm sorry......" Xiao Qian choked lowly, and let out a forced chuckle, she wanted to say something to dissolve this embarrassment, but she was so choked that she couldn't open her mouth, so she had to keep wiping her cheeks with the back of her hand. Then she heard the low voice of the high dive:

"No, it's me who should apologize. I'll talk to Li Si again, these days, you'd better stay at home and don't run around. ”

Xiao Qian suddenly looked up in surprise: "High diving." ”

Gao Qian looked out the window and snorted softly: "Those guys also have scruples, as long as you don't die...... Anyway, wait for my news. ”

"High dive, I knew you were a good person. Xiao Qian happily picked up Gao Qian's arm and shook it vigorously.

"Do what you do, let it go. Gao Qian scolded with a cold face.

Xiao Qian grimaced with a smile, and the tears that had not yet dried up glistened in the light and shadow.
