Chapter 32: Old Dreams Rediscovered

Far from the hustle and bustle, the dark alleys full of waste and sewage seem more secluded and more terrifying in today's moonless night. - At least for the two kids who were getting ready to enter.

In the narrow and cramped alleys, there was nothing but the sound of the rain that had not completely dispersed from the roofs yesterday, the sound of ticking down the ground along the eaves, the sound of two children wearing ill-fitting broken shoes stepping in a puddle full of sewage, and the older child, dragging a sack behind him, and the rattling sound of the contents hitting the ground.

This alley has been around for some years, and in the impression of the older teenager, he is very small, and when he was just sensible, he moved in here with his family. It's so old that even the lettering on the wall has faded to paint.

Tonight there was no starlight or moonlight, and the heavy clouds, like a miser, clung tightly to its pockets, not allowing a ray of light to shine on the earth.

The two children struggled to move forward, relying on their memory...... and the colors of neon light refracted in the city not far away.

In the child's mind, this dark atmosphere and environment can always be linked to the horror stories that have been heard, the sudden dark corners, the long-abandoned broken cars on the side of the road, the wind blowing the dilapidated tin doors from time to time, as if there is something hidden, and it feels that those spirits are everywhere. Thinking of this, the younger boy couldn't help but clench the hand of the older boy next to him.

Feeling the strength of his palm, the young man smiled slightly, "What's wrong?"

"No, no, I'm not afraid. The boy craned his neck, but gritted his teeth, "It's just, um, I don't know why, Daddy hasn't come back yet?"

"It's good that you're not afraid, after all, you're already in the first grade since you started today, and you're a formal elementary school student, so to speak, you've grown up a big step. The boy laughed and touched the heavy bag behind him with his shoulder.

Hearing the boy's words, the boy also forgot his fear for a moment and puffed out his chest proudly.

"As for Dad, I'm going to come back later, and in the future, it's the same. At this point, the young man's voice became a little low, and his head lowered unconsciously.

"Huh?"

Although the boy couldn't see clearly, he could feel the boy's puzzled gaze. But he didn't say much, and the younger brother also started elementary school, and he was about to go to junior high school, so he ...... Dad, I had to come back a little later.

Feeling that the atmosphere had obviously become depressing, the young man quickly changed the topic, "Xiao Feng, what do you think of it here now?"

The boy known as Xiao Feng was a little puzzled and scratched his head with his hand. The boy asked again in a different way, "I'm asking you, what do you think of the place we live in now?"

"Well," Xiao Feng tilted his head, covering his face with one hand, as if he was supporting the whole head that was about to fall, this was the boy's usual way of thinking, "I don't think it's very good, there are frequent power outages, well, using the toilet with other people, well, and it just stinks." ”

Speaking of this topic, the boy also seemed to forget about his father, "The worst thing is that here, it's so scary." At this point, the boy's voice also weakened.

Just as a gust of wind blew, blowing off a brick on the broken roof of the house next to it, although it didn't hit them, the loud noise still made the boy can't help but lean towards the boy.

Feeling the boy's trembling hand, the boy also held it tighter, as if trying to comfort him...... Or maybe you want to comfort yourself.

"Xiao Feng, listen, when I come out of my studies successfully, find a good job and make a lot of money, then our family can move to other places to live!" The young man's voice was particularly heroic at this time, "When there is hot water at that time, you don't have to use the wood stove to burn for half a day every time, you can install a street lamp at the door, it won't be as dark as now, everyone has their own bed, no need to crowd together anymore,......"

The chatter was endless, but it was about a vision for the future, and this beauty seemed to dispel the fear in the hearts of the two. "I also have to study hard, I can't just let my brother do it alone, I want to be with you, when the time comes, we will buy a big house, and the whole family will live together!"

The two of them walked through this section safely, with a good and hope for the future, which was a long and narrow alley for them before.

Unconsciously, a familiar blue lacquered iron door revealing a warm orange light appeared in front of the young man, and the two could also see each other's faces clearly at this time, full of innocence and childlike fun with each other, looking at each other and smiling, shouting together, "We're back!" rushed to the door together.

However, with the sound of the old deadbolt turning, behind the open door, a gray, bewildered teenager looked at the boy beside him...... An equally gray face also looked at him.

"Ah——h

Jiang Heng suddenly opened his eyes, kept panting, and pinched his hands to his face, the real pain and sweating profusely indicated, "Is it another dream?"

Curled up on his knees, leaning against the wall, holding his hand over his aching head, "Why, why are you still here? Isn't it all over?"

"Jiang Heng, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Heng's shout just now alarmed the other people in this cell, and they hurriedly gathered around Jiang Heng and asked with concern.

Hearing the words of concern, Jiang Heng slowly raised his head and began to look at the face of the person in front of him with some memories and the half-baked cell.

"Ah, guys, I'm fine, I just had a nightmare that scared me. Thank you for your interest. Jiang Heng showed a smile, indicating that he was no different from before.

When the others saw that he really was just having a nightmare, they were relieved.

"By the way, do you know what time it is?" Jiang Heng remembered something and hurriedly asked.

Jaimehan looked through the small hole in the cell door, "The lights in the hallway had just gone out, and it must have been just after the wee hours of the morning. ”

"Yes. Jiang Heng nodded, staring thoughtfully at the door, "Then it should be soon." ”

"Will we really all be able to escape?" Someone next to him was not at ease, and confirmed to Jiang Heng again.

"Don't worry, we'll all be able to get out. Jiang Heng once again gave a guarantee.

"But you just said that you have two seniors outside, but there are so many people outside, even if they release us all, we still can't escape, what should I do?"

Seeing the shaking appearance of the person in front of him, as well as the suspicious appearance of the other people around him, Jiang Heng had no choice but to stand up, although his sword was taken away, he still faced everyone with a sword-holding posture, "Please believe me, since I dare to promise you in my own name, I will definitely fight this responsibility to fulfill my promise." After thinking about it, he added, "And more sheriffs are on their way, and when the time comes, maybe they can be caught in the open." ”

Although these words did not completely dispel everyone's doubts, they at least gave them a little more comfort in their hearts. "Don't expect more sheriffs, anyway, since I said that I will take you out, then I must be lucky, but I hope you will not see me at that time. Jiang Heng secretly added in his heart.

Outside the cell

The female Qing Yu, who had been following Du Lan's side, hurriedly ran here, and under the puzzled gaze of Qing Yu, who was guarding the door, she stopped, adjusted her breathing slightly, and said with a straight face, "The leader heard that a sheriff boy has been arrested and will be interrogated in person, and I am here to escort him." ”

"How do you feel like you're running over?" asked Qing Yu, the doorkeeper, as he looked for the key in the cabinet next to him.

"How dare I neglect what the leader has explained. Lord Duran and Lord Zawa are fighting on the road in order to rush here. The young woman's face was not red, her heart was not beating, and she said casually.

"Oh, no wonder, how do I feel like there's some movement over there......?"

Just as he was about to turn back, he suddenly felt a blow to his head, and the key fell to the ground, "Oh no!

Enduring the severe pain, Qing Yu, the gatekeeper, directly picked up the knife on his waist, turned around and slashed behind him, but the figure dodged flexibly, dodged the blow, and landed not far away.

With a shocked expression on his face, "Yes, the same level I have encountered so far, in this case, no one can stand my punch without fainting." ”

Feeling like his head was about to crack, Qing Yu, the gatekeeper, held his head in one hand and a knife in the other, facing the person in front of him, gritting his teeth, "Damn, who are you?"

"Well," as soon as two voices fell from the other side, he instantly appeared in front of this gatekeeper Qing Yu, "The person who wants your life!"

The right fist carried a scorching flame and slammed into the head of the gatekeeper Qing Yu. Qing Yu, the gatekeeper, hurriedly raised his knife to meet the punch, but he felt a sharp pain in the hand holding the knife, it turned out to be the opponent's right fist, which smashed directly on his wrist, and from the point of view of the degree of deformation, it was definitely a fracture.

"Damn ......" The goalkeeper Qing Yu, who had no time to react, could only watch as the punch continued to enlarge in his eyes, and finally made intimate contact with the left side of his face, and after a brief tingling pain, he lost consciousness and sat down on the ground.

Looking at the earthy yellow light on the opponent's knife that had not completely dissipated, "It seems to be a rock system, and the defense is so high, no wonder my hands hurt." ”

Before she had time to think about it, she grabbed the key on the ground......

The people in the cell had already noticed the movement outside, and they all stared at the door at this time, "It looks like it's finally here, everyone get ready." Jiang Heng reminded the people around him.

As soon as he finished speaking, the cell door opened, and the dim light of the door shone in, and a woman with a mature face walked in with light and shadow, looking around.

Jiang Heng put his two hands on the railing, smiled, and greeted the woman, "Hey, here, here." ”

The woman also saw Jiang Heng, showed a relieved smile, and walked over. "Boy, what's the matter, right?"

"I'm fine, but," Jiang Xing pointed to the face of the woman opposite, "Senior Yijia, how long will you wear this disguise?"

The other side was stunned for a moment, and then let out a sneer, "Seeing that you can still joke, then it should be fine." ”

Subsequently, the woman, known as Ika, tore off the disguise on her face in front of everyone.

He has white skin, long smooth black hair, and a youthful vitality and unique charm that he exudes in his early twenties.

"Sheriff of Shire, Igya. Everyone, please evacuate in a safe and orderly manner. ”

......

Outside the base

A few shadows hidden in the shadows slowly retreated from near the entrance to the woods some distance from the entrance.

There, there are many more figures gathered.

Several shadows slowly appeared in front of the person at the head, "Brother Mo, it seems that this is it." ”

"Well, good. Mo pushed aside the bushes in front of him and looked at the entrance not far away, where two militants with magic guns, yawning, and not knowing how to disguise themselves, were walking around boredly.

"It's a little different from the original plan, but it's the same overall. Action, begin. ”
