Chapter 45: Our "Bright Day" Is Different from Everyone else (2 in 1)
The abrupt stop made Li Jingwen unable to dodge, and it was firmly mounted on Bering's back.
"Occurrence ......"
She was about to speak, but the next second, she was covered by a pair of cold hands.
These hands are like ice cream that has just been taken out of the freezer, with a cold air that makes the hairs stand on end, covering his face with cold coldness.
As soon as she looked up, Li Jingwen saw Bering's serious face.
"Quiet," he whispered, slowly withdrawing his hand, "must ...... Be quiet! β
As he said that, he stared straight into the darkness deep in the hallway, as if there was something there.
Infected by his vigilance, Li Jingwen crouched down and looked straight into the darkness in the distance.
Then in the next second, Li Jingwen's pupils shrank slightly.
At this moment, in her eyes, the darkness that should have been invisible to her fingers could clearly see the "outline" of a thing.
It was a tall figure, as if someone was straddling something, and in his right hand he was holding a weapon that seemed to be a "spear", and in the helmet on his head, he could see the red streamer flickering like a tide.
It was obviously night, but he could clearly see the black mist shrouded around the figure, as if it was stepping on this black fog and coming silently from the far side.
Looking at the black shadow, Bai Ling said softly, "That is, 'Night Knight'!" β
With that, Bering looked at the helmet on the face of the "Night Knight".
It was a wooden helmet that looked like a crying and laughing, like a mask.
I have to say that the real "Night Knight" satisfies all Alyssa Li's illusions of the "supernatural".
The tall figure that can be clearly glimpsed even though it is dark, the cold temperament like a ghost, the pitch-black armor like flowing color bronzing, and the pitch-black war horse underneath, every detail is like a fantasy novel roaring into reality.
The only thing that was a little strange was that the black-armored knight had not a diamond iron helmet on his head, but a wooden helmet.
Looking at the knight in the night, Li Jingwen's heart was a little shocked: "This is ...... Night Knight! β
Sure enough, the man named Bering didn't lie to her. In this world, there are indeed supernatural phenomena!
Originally, they were about to be taken away by the teacher's soul-inducing roll call, but after seeing the night knight who appeared in front of the two of them in a grand manner, the illusion in Li Jingwen's heart resurfaced again.
She stared at the knight closely, leaning against Bering's side to ease her fear, and whispered, "What should we do now?" β
Bering's face was solemn: "According to normal circumstances, we should immediately restrain the other party's actions. β
"The Night Knight is a 'dangerous' xenomorph, which means that if left unchecked, it will cause no less than dozens of serial murderers, and the Night Knight will also greatly affect the vision and physical health of humans, which is very dangerous to ordinary people," Bering slowly got up against the wall, "and guys like us exist to avoid such a future." β
Listening to Bai Ling's words, Li Jingwen nodded slightly.
However, in the next second, she looked at Bering a little blankly: "Wait, why are you telling me so much?" β
When these words were spoken, the scene froze for a while.
This should have been a suspicion that Li Jingwen discovered very early, and I don't know why, Bering has no hiding many of his problems. This is completely inconsistent with Alyssa Lee's imaginary "secret officer", but rather like a ...... The pizzeria sells the latest products for customers.
But she's still too young.
If Bering really had an intention on her, then she shouldn't have said it so aggressively when she was suspicious.
After all, Alyssa Lee is just a high school student. And unlike other ordinary high school students, she is also a ...... who lacks social experience because of her special life experience NaΓ―ve high school student.
It's a shame to include a girl like this in the program.
Thinking so, Bering glanced at the firm but unusually slow pace of the Night Knight in the distance, thought about it, and began to brew emotions in his heart.
After a long while, Bai Ling smiled bitterly: "This may seem a little strange, and it is natural for you to be suspicious." β
"But one thing I need to say is that I'm not the people you think deal with supernatural creatures, or rather, Tomorrow is different from other secret organizations."
"Other organizations and officials choose to withhold information in order to appease the people and the authorities, and sometimes erase the memories of some of the people involved," Bering said. But 'Bright Day' is different, if you have to compare, then we are the group of people who like to jump the most in these organizations, whether it is live broadcast or film and television, and even if we can, we still want to go to the news to promote this knowledge that should be hidden, and some people even want to post a big-character poster on the street and want to publicize it. β
"Because our purpose was originally to let the public know all this and teach humans how to deal with these monsters," Bai Ling patted Li Jingwen on the shoulder, "We have always believed in a truth, if we want to live on our own, we have to help more people live." β
"So, I'm telling you all of this now so that you can better handle similar situations in the future. And we hope that if you encounter a similar situation in the future, you will be able to tell others who don't know. β
After listening to Bering's explanation, although it was still a little difficult to understand, Li Jingwen's eyebrows still stretched slightly.
In fact, even if she knew that Bering had other plans, I am afraid that she would stubbornly follow his side.
Because her life is so dark that there is no hope, even if this strange monster pulls out a gun and cuts her eyes, it will not let Li Jingwen see a worse future. Compared to the reality of no ups and downs or even painful, the surreal that is exploited is still more exciting.
"Actually, I shouldn't have asked," Li Jingwen was a little annoyed, "I should have been more silent and calm, instead of being scared by that knight and not saying anything!" β
Li Jingwen admitted that she came out of her brain because she was frightened by the Night Knight.
It's normal, even if you're a fanatical fan of the supernatural, the first time you see something that's beyond your sense, you'll be shocked.
Li Jingwen can still stand behind Bering tremblingly now, which can already show that she has good courage and is obsessed.
Soon, however, she heard Bering's slightly bitter voice: "But I told you that it wasn't entirely because of 'Bright Day'. And, well, the Prophet ......"
After hesitating for a while, Bering shook his head and did not continue.
He took something out of his pocket, looked down at Li Jingwen, hesitated for a moment and handed it to her.
Li Jingwen subconsciously took it and put it in the palm of her hand, and the silence in her hand made her a little surprised.
The fingers rubbed lightly on the object, and in the next second, Li Jingwen's face suddenly changed color!
Although she is not rich in professional knowledge, Li Jingwen, who has experienced the baptism of countless film and television works, can still feel at a glance what Bering handed to herself.
It was a delicate, delicate pistol!
The man in front of him actually gave himself a pistol?!
Li Jingwen subconsciously glanced at Bering, and then she noticed that the expression on Bering's face was a little ...... Complex.
"Holding it, although it may not protect you, but it is always a little psychologically comforting."
With that, Bering looked at the Night Knight in the distance again.
After a moment's deliberation, he continued, "Because I don't know what to do next." β
"The Night Knight is not a 'danger', but a ...... 'disaster' that is about to cross the 'danger'!" β
Bering's voice was a little bitter: "This is not something I can handle, so even if the prophet asks me to take you, I can't continue to do this." β
"It seems that someone has avoided the prophet's calculations in advance, probably some other 'disaster'," Bering shook his head, "otherwise the prophet would not have miscalculated, let alone given us wrong information." β
"Disaster"?
Although she couldn't quite understand the meaning of this word in Bering's words, Li Jingwen still instinctively felt that the guy opposite was dangerous!
So she subconsciously opened her mouth, and after a long time she said, "What can I do?" β
From Bering's mouth, Li Jingwen got some information.
For example, the intelligence system of the organization "Bright Day" seems to be very rich, otherwise not a single night knight can match a specialized intelligence officer. Another example is that Bering is a two-person coming, which means that "Bright Day" thinks that the Night Knight is a monster that two people can solve.
But it seems that this time the "Bright Day" intelligence, which should have been incomparably powerful, has failed. The Night Knight, as an enemy, seemed to be far more intense than they had imagined, so much so that those who came to deal with it began to feel overwhelmed.
But even then, he did not back down.
He fumbled in his pocket, and after a few moments, he pulled out something.
Despite being in the dark, Li Jingwen could see at a glance that the gun was the same as the one in her hand, and it was also a delicate small pistol in pitch black.
Skillfully loading the pistol, Bering glanced back at Li Jingwen: "Although it is a bit reluctant to say this, I hope you can do what I say in the future." β
"I'm going to deal with the Night Knight, and if you can, you'd better evacuate the people around you," Bering said, "I was supposed to do it, but I tried, and I failed." So I can only ask you, as a student in school, your words should carry more weight than me. β
However, no, as a marginal person in the school, no one knows better than Alyssa Li how weak her words are.
But she didn't say anything, just silently held the pistol.
Looking at Li Jingwen, Bai Ling thought about it, reached out and patted her head gently.
This action made the girl slightly stunned.
Li Jingwen glanced up at Bering, and then saw the expression on his face.
What kind of expression is this?
There is fear, there is contemplation, there is gloom, and there is regret.
But there are no regrets.
Such an expression was so vivid that it deeply hit Alyssa Lee's heart.
In a trance, Li Jingwen finally understood why she liked those grand and just tragedies.
Because she is deeply obsessed with "sacrifice".
"Sacrifice" is a noble feeling, a sincere heart that can break free from shackles and selflessly dedicate oneself to others. With such emotions, you will be able to shine in a dark and dull world.
"Sacrificing" for the sake of righteousness, for the weak, and for a better tomorrow, this kind of self-satisfied emotion, even if experienced and repeated a thousand times, will make people feel surging and their thoughts fluctuate.
Because this world is too dark, Li Jingwen is extremely eager for this selfless "altruistic spirit".
And today, she actually saw a similar expression in reality.
"Please, Mr. Li," Bering said, "it may be a bit difficult to be strong, but since you are someone who is valued by all prophets, it means that you are important, at least more important than me." β
"People like me die when they die, but those like you who are valued by the prophet must at least die behind us."
"I can't understand why you're a high school student, but since the prophet said that you are a future 'hero', then you are probably a more powerful character than I thought."
Bering tugged at the corners of his mouth, as if he was laughing: "So let a pawn like me come to cross the river and give a hero like you a good back." β
As he spoke, Bering stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to rub Li Jingwen's head.
However, after hesitating for a moment, an embarrassed smile appeared on his face, and he withdrew his hand and handed something to Li Jingwen instead.
Li Jingwen looked down and saw that it was a mobile phone.
Bai Ling looked at Li Jingwen and coughed lightly: "This is my mobile phone......"
"You take it away, and if you can, remember to give it to the people of Tomorrow," Bering said, "tell them, don't burn paper money, burn some houses and cars, just the kind of thing like the Heaven and Earth Bank can't run inflation underground, and it has to be hard currency......"
He babbled on and on, trying to explain a lot of things in just a dozen seconds.
After finally explaining "deleting the computer browsing history", Bering finally stopped narrating.
He looked at the Night Knight in the distance again, then picked up his pistol and pushed Li Jingwen beside him.
"Go ahead," he said, "and I'll help you get attention." β
"I can hold out for five minutes at most, which means you try to evacuate everyone around you within five minutes!"
Finally, Bering said, "And ...... Absolutely, never let the Night Knight leave the school building! β
"When it leaves the school building and goes into the dark, there really is no one to stop it!"
"You must remember this," Bering said earnestly, "and please, classmate!" β
"Rescue is already on the way, but before I can do that, I need to hold that guy down! Like me, you need to save as many people as possible! β
Bering's expression was extremely serious: "Because we exist for this tomorrow and day!" β
This sentence pierced Li Jingwen's chest like an arrow, making her pale face a little red.
However, before she could react.
In the next second, Bering, who seemed to have finished his last words, suddenly jumped up from behind the wall.
The figure was so fast that Li Jingwen could feel her hair gently swaying because of Bering's movements.
It's like a sunny day doll that gets wet and listless on a rainy day.
He yelled at the Night Knight in the distance, "Hey! β
"Here's the guy you're looking for!"
The sound was so loud that everyone in the entire school building, except for the Night Knight, could hear a roar that seemed to erupt from their chests.
Immediately afterwards, Li Jingwen saw Bering carrying a pistol and rushed into the night without hesitation!
The night completely obscured him, and only the occasional sound of gunfire could indicate his current state.
Glancing at the pistol, Li Jingwen pursed her lips slightly.
Then she stepped forward and staggered into the class.
At this moment, all the students looked out the window curiously, and because of the geographical location, they saw the figure that could not be dispersed even if it was black fog for the first time.
In the next second, excitement and doubt were intertwined, making them unconsciously stretch their necks and turn their heads to each other.
What a foolish person who can only notice the glamour of superficial phenomena, and is completely unable to notice who in the darkness has gambled their names on them, throwing their lives out like garbage.
Thinking so, Li Jingwen walked forward slowly, standing on the podium all the time.
She seemed to have suddenly appeared out of the night, startling both the teacher and the classmates.
The teacher was a little dissatisfied: "Li Jingwen! What did you just go for! The teacher calls you so many times and you don't respond! β
The classmates also coaxed a little: "Oh teacher, just leave her alone, let's continue the class......"
These words, which should have easily pierced the girl's heart, were not able to make her feel pain at all at this moment.
On the contrary, she even wanted to laugh a little.
O vulgar, vulgar and kitsch people......
Li Jingwen thought so in her heart, and then stood on the podium for the first time, holding her head high to all the classmates in front of her.
She could feel her tension, but she could also feel what seemed to be a fire burning in her chest.
She let the flame ignite her thoughts, and the sparks in the sky seemed like her trembling words at this moment.
"Now, everyone!" Her voice was crisp, but unexpectedly loud, "Evacuate immediately!" β
"The men of the 'Tomorrow Day' organization are fighting the Night Knight, but he won't last long, and when he fails, the knight will execute us all!"
When this sentence came out, the whole class was stunned.
The next second, everyone burst out laughing.
Some people made fun of Li Jingwen: "Li Jingwen, you won't go crazy because of your father, right?" How can you say some nonsense, and tell you to read less novels on a regular basis......"
Li Jingwen remembers very well that this guy is a girl who usually bullies herself.
The reason for the bullying is not clear to Li Jingwen, but it is better to say that for some people, there is no need for a reason to bully others.
Usually when she sees this guy, Li Jingwen walks around with her head down, and she can't even look up at the road, so she can only be a silent passerby.
Today, however, for the first time, she was no longer silent.
Feeling the weight of the dark object in her hand, she pursed her lips lightly and raised her right hand to point to the sky.
Then the index finger twitched slightly, and the trigger struck!
The sound of thunder echoed throughout the class, followed by a faint smell of gunpowder smoke lingering on the tip of everyone's nose, and beads of sweat on the tip of the nose slowly fell.
Holding a pistol in her right hand, Li Jingwen said calmly: "I don't want to repeat it a second time." β
"Everybody move, take refuge at once," she said, looking at the girl with undisguised disgust in her tone, "even if it's you!" β
"Don't do stupid things, and don't waste other people's sacrifices."
"Get moving!"
