"Dead?"

Xiao Huan clearly felt her shock and abnormality from Yang Jia's reaction, and even a little frightened.

In my heart, I suddenly had an indescribable sense of boredom, and even wanted to hang up the phone directly and throw it far away, what would Yang Jia be thinking about at this time? Shocked that you killed your own father and thought of yourself as a monster like that dead father? Perhaps, I should explain it myself? But what is the point of such an explanation......

It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, and his heart is actually full of disgust for this world.

The most disgusting thing is myself.

However, countless chaotic thoughts flashed through his heart in an instant, and these thoughts were even about to crush him.

Yang Jia's answer suddenly surprised him: "Where are you?" ”

"I'll pick you up."

“……”

Such a reaction suddenly made Xiao Huan stunned for a moment, he stood quietly for a long time, and said slowly: "Why? ”

"What else?"

Yang Jia said in a low voice: "Because your current state is very bad, wait for me." ”

Xiao Huan listened quietly to the sound coming from the microphone, and after a long time, he slowly nodded.

Hanging up the phone, he sat down on a bench on the side of the street, his head hanging down, and watched the traffic in front of him form lines.

Inside my head, there is always a dull sound that makes it impossible for me to form effective thoughts.

It's back to the way it was four years ago......

My thinking seems to have been beaten into paste, a mysterious and unknown force has entered my head, shattering everything, and also making me lose the ability to concentrate, I can't think, I can't perceive, there is only a clear feeling, that is, pain, like a nightmare in a state of high fever all the time, chaotic, depressed, and time is endlessly stretched.

The ability to explode your mind allows you to do things that many people can't.

For example, if you react a little faster than others, understand something a little faster, and even the perception of external pain is a little longer.

But the only thing that comes to mind is the painful perception that can't be resolved.

Not only is it impossible to solve, but because of the explosion of thought, it leads to a doubling of the perception of pain in one's mind.

Xiao Huan actually wanted to see Yang Jia very much, and he especially wanted to see others at this time.

But he didn't know how long it would take for him to see her in this situation of letting his thinking lengthen, maybe Yang Jia would immediately rush to his location after hanging up the phone, maybe it would take twenty minutes to drive normally, but she used the ability of the brander to arrive in five minutes, but in her own world, these five minutes may be like five days......

…… Even five years as long.

This discovery made Xiao Huan suddenly fall into a deep panic.

When you are in pain, you always want someone to accompany you, as if it can dilute your pain.

But when you are in pain and alone, the time always becomes long, so that you have no way to escape.

Anything in this world can be discounted.

Pain alone always needs to be borne silently and clearly.

……

……

My mind is full of all kinds of strange ideas.

Xiao Huan sat on the bench like this, letting his thoughts prolong, silently enjoying the feeling of tearing and pain in loneliness and silence, he saw that the city in front of him had become a line of streamers, and saw that the images of the people shaking in front of him were meaningless shots, and after the chaotic editing, they were played back at a speed of ten or twenty times, and saw the distortion and collapse of the whole world.

I also want to take a sharp breath and get myself out of this state.

But I can't do it, some particularly easy things always seem more difficult than the sky when some painful times are painful.

So he simply let it go, savoring all the anger, hatred, sadness, and pain.

My father died.

Perhaps the only option to allow yourself to downplay this pain is to deny him.

Denying that he really existed, believing that he was just a façade in the city, just a monster in his father's skin.

Because he is a monster, everything he does has no substantive meaning with himself.

But at this moment, Xiao Huan couldn't deny his truth, because just before, when he was fighting against the White Devil, the power of the third stage of the Insight was used to the extreme, and then at that moment, he suddenly saw the reality of this world, saw all the illusions disappear, all the twisted and mysterious things disappeared, a clean and real world.

Strangers are looking forward to returning to their hometowns.

The world is real, and the people are real, just as they are remembered.

So, what I saw at that time was the real world?

……

……

I don't know how long it took, in Xiao Huan's perception, it was so long that he seemed to have become a fossil, and a thick shell appeared in his thinking.

He suddenly heard Yang Jia's voice and slowly came to his senses.

There was a feeling of being in a different world, faintly remembering the death of my father, as if it had been many years ago.

He tried to concentrate his attention, and when he looked up, he saw Yang Jia ......

…… Quarrel with someone.

At this time, she seemed to have changed her clothes not long ago, and her hair had not been completely dried, so she was frowning at this time, looking at an old man standing beside her, holding a dog, and said unhappily: "He is not in a good state, why should he let you sit down?" ”

"It's not whether you're in good shape or not, I'll tell you......"

The old man led the dog and spat around: "It's this kid who doesn't talk politely, my old man has been talking to him for a long time, and he doesn't care about people." ”

"Besides, I'm just asking him to get up and move his seat and go sit over there, what? Tired of him? ”

“……”

Yang Jia's eyes were displeased, and he said coldly: "He doesn't need to give it to you." ”

"The benches are public, anyone can sit here and rest, you can, and so can he."

“……”

"But my old man comes every day, and it's just right to sit here when the dog is tired......"

The old man became angry, and his fingers almost poked Yang Jia's face: "Go over there and sit over the lawn." ”

"I have bad legs, I just don't want to go."

"You young people are so good at this quality that you won't move your legs?"

“……”

Yang Jiaqi's good-looking face turned a little pale, but he couldn't speak.

"Phew!"

At this moment, Xiao Huan completely withdrew from the confused and chaotic feeling, and suddenly pulled out his gun and fired a shot into the sky.

The violent sound made Yang Jia stunned, and the old man was also stunned.

The dog led by the old man was also stunned.

The pedestrians who watched the bustle on the side of the road, or the pedestrians passing by, were suddenly stunned.

Then Xiao Huan frowned, suddenly raised the muzzle of the gun again, and fired two shots into the sky one after another.

"Phew" "Phew! ”

“……”

There was silence around, and suddenly everyone hugged their heads and ran away, and the old man threw the dog up and ran away like a kite.

"What's wrong?"

It wasn't until the surroundings became clean that Xiao Huan raised his head and said to Yang Jia in hindsight.

"It's fine."

Yang Jia looked at his somewhat confused eyes and found that he seemed to know nothing about what had just happened.

Not only was he a little worried, but he said, "How are you?" ”

"It's fine."

Xiao Huan shook his head and said: "I was a little unhappy, until now, I am still a little unhappy when I think about it, after all, it is my father, I can understand that he sometimes prefers another child, and sometimes even feels that he doesn't care about what he does, but when it comes to the critical moment, he can't accept it all of a sudden, and he ...... It felt like a blow. ”

As he spoke, he laughed self-deprecatingly, reached out and rubbed his face, and said with a smile:

"It's all in the past, though."

“……”

"Passed?"

Yang Jia's eyes suddenly looked a little incredulous.

As soon as she heard what Mr. Ye told her, she immediately called Xiao Huan, but she didn't expect that as soon as the phone was connected, she got the news that Xiao Huan was arguing with his father and that his father had died...... Normally, Yang Jia wouldn't care about these things, even if Xiao Huan really killed his father, Yang Jia's senses for him would only stay at a strange level.

For example, a person who can destroy a toy that looks like his father.

But the key is that, according to Mr. Ye's words, Xiao Huan is from the aborigines, and he lives in the cracks.

In some things, he is not the same as the anomalous.

So he......

With this thought, she rushed over as fast as she could, but only saw Xiao Huan sitting on a bench on the side of the street in a very depressed manner, letting an uncle with a dog beside him scold him, but he didn't say a word, didn't react, and at that moment the depression and desolation on his body almost made her feel frightened, so she didn't even care about her image, and wanted to let the uncle leave quickly and let Xiao Huan be quiet for a while.

But she never expected that when Xiao Huan came to his senses, he would be so calm.

It was as if that was a long time ago.

Time can dilute everything, leaving only a little depression in the eyes.

She didn't know how to describe this weirdness for a while, and slowly sat down beside Xiao Huan, without taking the initiative to ask anything.

After sitting quietly for a while, he suddenly said, "Is there any smoke?" ”

Yang Jia was stunned for a moment, her expression was a little embarrassed, she was not used to carrying cigarettes with her now.

What's the use of bringing it?

How many sticks can be pumped into your mouth?

But after struggling for a few seconds, suddenly the sewer pipe not far away sounded a slight sound, Xiao Si's head opened the lid of the sewer, got out of it, and silently put a box of unopened mint-flavored cigarettes and a lighter to Xiao Huan's side, and then took two steps back, and whispered: "Brother Xiao, don't worry, I have already taught that old man a lesson......

"I picked up the that his dog was pulling on the road, picked it up and threw it into his bed......"

“……”

Xiao Huan's reaction was half a beat slower, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Looking at the mint-flavored cigarettes that were already in his hand, he thought silently: "Did Xiaosi wash his hands before buying cigarettes?" ”

It's already picked up anyway, it doesn't matter.

He silently tore open the package, took one in his mouth, lit it, and let the cool sensation spring up between his mouth.

Only then did he say to Yang Jia: "You, as well as Mr. Ye, know everything about Black Gate City very well. ”

"However, there are ...... about the Black Forest Biological Laboratory in the Black Gate City, and the Black Goat Club among the aborigines."

“…… Got it? ”

“……”

Yang Jia condensed slightly, realizing that Xiao Huan already knew a lot of things.

She groaned for a moment and whispered, "I know about their existence, their operating logic, but I don't know much more." ”

After a pause, she added an explanation, saying: "As strangers, we can do many things, but there is one principle that can never be ignored: we are not the masters of the city, the will of the city is the real master of the city, we are only the existence of serving the will of the city, and everything that can be done can only be done if the city allows it." ”

"Therefore, there will always be some things in this city that we cannot touch."

"It's like the natives of the city...... People will also exchange them at different prices because of their own influence and the different functions of the city, and all the secrets in the city, some can be easily revealed to us, and some are hidden deep in the city, if we investigate and understand, it will cause dissatisfaction and even rejection in the city. ”

“……”

Xiao Huan listened carefully, and suddenly said, "Then what will happen if I forcibly break into the Black Forest and see all their secrets?" ”

Yang Jia was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No one has ever done this." ”

"Again, I don't recommend that you do that."

“……”

She seemed to organize her own language, and after a long moment, she continued: "In this city, the guy codenamed Shepherd, I have fought against him, and his strength is incomprehensible, and I can realize his danger, but even so, until the city gives us clear instructions, we cannot support the bystanders to pay him, and it is even difficult to investigate him. ”

"Because whether it is to deal with him or to investigate him, it is an act of disobedience to the will of the city."

"Investigation means peeping, and peeping is a sin for the will of the city, or for the mysterious source."

"It's a blasphemy of a high-ranking being."

“……”

"Is it a sin to peep?"

Xiao Huan listened to Yang Jia's words, and suddenly a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

The ability of the Seeker is to get a glimpse of all the secrets of the city, without being bound by the rules.

Doesn't that mean that this is inherently a blasphemous ability?

Although Yang Jia's words were the first time he was talking, he actually knew some things before, but he didn't think about going against the will of the city, of course, it didn't matter about anything else, but now, he has developed a strong interest in the Black Forest and the Black Goat Club, or rather, this is not an interest, but a kind of responsibility, a kind of responsibility for himself, so he must figure it out......

So what should I do?

Is there a penalty for investigating these things without permission?

With a slight movement in his heart, he suddenly raised his head and looked at a place.

The Black Forest Biological Laboratory, as a landmark building in the city, may be mysterious in the eyes of many ordinary people, but in the eyes of strangers, at least their location and nature are not a secret at all, Xiao Huan knows where he is located in the city.

The Eye of the Discerning appeared, and the city began to grow deeper.

The building between the Black Forest Biolaboratory and itself had become blurred or even disappeared in an instant.

You can see this huge complex directly, and even, as if you can see through it directly, and get a glimpse of everything inside.

[Warning: You are touching the heart of the taboo]

【...... points are being deducted】

【……】

But Xiao Huan just looked at the black building, and just tried to look at it, he suddenly received a strong signal, at the same time, he only felt a splitting headache, the eye of the insight seemed to see a strong light, and at the same time, his points were like a stopwatch that was changing at an accelerated paceset, and the points instantly slipped down quickly, until his eyes were completely removed from the Black Forest.

In just this moment, he lost more than 300 points.

"So strict?"

Xiao Huan couldn't help but be slightly shocked in his heart, realizing that there was nothing wrong with what Yang Jia said.

Not to mention forcibly entering the Black Forest, even if you just forcibly peep into the Black Forest, you will be punished strongly.

How big can these 100,000 points support?

He dispelled this thought for the time being, looked at Yang Jia, and said, "But what if I do have something I want to understand?" ”

"Not a stranger......"

“……”

He tried to explain: "It's about the aborigines, the things that happen between the aborigines. ”

"You really want to know that?"

Yang Jia's face, for some reason, became a little serious.

She stretched out her palm, pressed Xiao Huan's hand, and said in a low voice: "It's not the first time you have such doubts, maybe this is a side effect of the Insight route to you, you will always doubt something, but, when you had doubts before, I took you to see the edge of the city, dispelling your doubts, but for your doubts this time, ......"

After a slight pause, she looked at Xiao Huan's eyes and said, "Our world is the abyss. ”

"Look too deeply, and you'll be miserable."

“……”

"So she already knew......"

Xiao Huan looked at Yang Jia's eyes and suddenly understood.

The insight is different from ordinary people's acumen, and he finds that Yang Jia already knows the problems he is facing.

I was worried about whether to tell them, but I didn't expect that Yang Jia knew these things, and after knowing these things, she was not vigilant and questioning herself, but advised herself how to stay away from them......

I was silent for a long time, but in my own consciousness, I was silent for a long time.

Xiao Huan suddenly said: "I probably can't be regarded as a real stranger, and I may not be regarded as an aborigine......"

"I don't even know what I am......"

“…… So how do you understand me? ”

“……”

Yang Jia listened, she was also a little surprised, she thought that Xiao Huan would hide that secret, after all, even she and Mr. Ye could deeply understand the impact of this truth on the world of strangers, but she didn't expect that Xiao Huan actually admitted it in front of herself.

"I don't know everything......"

It took a long time for her to speak slowly, not wanting to lie in front of an insightful person, but said slowly:

"So I don't know what state you belong to."

“……”

"But ......"

She was slightly silent, and then met Xiao Huan's gaze, and said softly: "I at least remember, before everything happened." ”

"I didn't wake up, you didn't encounter these things before."

"We were classmates at the time."

“……”

Xiao Huan's eyes gradually changed a little, and it was difficult to describe the feeling in his heart at this moment.

"Especially, although you are now in the eyes of others, you have become a legend in defeating the Hell Organization."

Yang Jia's smile relaxed and said with a smile: "But in my eyes, after all, I am just a newcomer who has just woken up." ”

"It is also the responsibility of us, the guides, to answer the doubts in the hearts of the newcomers."

"Last time, to answer your doubts, I showed you the edge of the city."

"Then, in order to answer your doubts this time, it is also appropriate to take you to see the core of the city."

“……”

Xiao Huan listened to Yang Jia's words quietly, and suddenly felt that his eyes were a little sour.
