Alva dragged his tired body through one narrow alley after another, like a bug in the shadows, far from the light.

Sometimes he is just a wall away from the brightly lit neighborhood, but he still chooses to walk alone with his head down in the dark alleys, how bright the city is, how deep the darkness behind the city is, and in this seemingly endless alley on the back of the city, I don't know how many evils are happening all the time.

Hurlis was once famous for its infrastructure construction, and although these alleys were not brightly lit not so long ago, there was always a faint light hanging on the wall every few steps, giving immeasurable comfort and security to those who came home late at night, and for countless people living at the bottom of Hurlis, the lights in this alley were the most worthy of showing off.

But now, these street lamps have long been unable to emit a trace of light, and the few lamps that have been lingering for a long time have also flashed faint lights that seem to be about to lose their last breath at any time, all thanks to the wise officials of Herlis who keep proclaiming Hurlis's unprecedented prosperity at major press conferences every day, and they keep emphasizing poverty alleviation by the people, but a large amount of money is dissipated on their non-stop drinking party all night, and this light can not last for a moment, extinguished in this heavy dark night.

Alva turned a corner, a man and a woman in the corner of the dark alley were lying on the wall and were breathing heavily, Alva had already seen it, he leaned against the wall, and wanted to walk quietly from the side, but the strong man still heard his footsteps, turned around and cursed Alva a few words, Alva didn't hear it, he lowered his head and walked over, but before he could turn the next corner, the dull sound of the iron pipe hitting the body in front of him and the low roar of the crowd made Alva dare not take a step forward, these people didn't care if what they did had anything to do with him。

Alva squatted against the wall on the clammy ground, bent his knees and buried his face in the crook of his legs, the sound of heavy breathing on the left, and the sound of hitting on the right, even Alva could hear the sound of blood dripping on the ground, countless disgusting sounds seemed to surround Alva, he squatted on the ground, hid his whole body in a small shadow, buried his head deep down, but this still could not stop the sound from pouring into his ears all the time, Alva could hear his heart beating faster and faster, the darkness was like poison constantly eroding Alva's heart, he felt that he could no longer bear this kind of lifeJust when Alva felt that his body was about to get out of control, a loud scream pierced the night sky.

With the sound of unidentified objects tearing and splattering flesh, Alva raised his head suddenly, the scream came from Alva's left, and then the entire night sky fell into a deathly silence, even the violent crowd on the right side suddenly lost any sound, suddenly, a very heavy footsteps suddenly appeared in the alley, accompanied by a loud chewing sound, Alva could see a tall and inhuman figure peeking out of the corner of the alley.

A head came out of the corner, it was a horse-like head, but it had a long horn on its head, and the extremely long hair covered the whole face, and six scarlet eyes were blinking straight ahead, and one of the creature's claws was grabbing the wall, and the claw had ten fingers, each with an extremely long nail, and the creature's other hand was holding a bloody arm, and it kept gnawing with its mouth, and the loud sound of chewing and the thing's slight gasping for pleasure filled the whole alley.

Alva was already frightened, he was motionless as if he was leaning against the wall like a sculpture, tears had flowed all over his face for some time, the creature seemed to be aware of Alva's presence, and walked out from behind the wall, the creature was more than two meters tall, naked, with a human-like body, but the body was extremely thin, the creature's long hair covered its entire face, it had a pair of huge feet, each with ten toes, and also with extremely long nails.

The creature walked towards Alva step by step as if teasing its prey, Alva opened his mouth widely, and the huge fear made him stare at him, but he couldn't make a sound at this moment, the thing slowly stretched out a claw, narrowed the three scarlet eyes behind the long hair, just when Alva thought that his life was about to end, suddenly, a huge scream came from Alva's left side, and the crowd in the alley on the left heard the screams and several people went around the wall to look this way, but the horror of this creature made them unable to suppress their fear at all, and let out a huge scream。

The creature straightened up and turned its head, as if smelling more food, and immediately gave up Alva, but its huge body was extremely light, and it jumped into the alley on the other side, and it was not long before the screams that sounded far away were resounding.

Alva didn't care about those who had never met at all, and for the rest of his life, he leaned against the wall and tried to overcome his uncontrollable legs, and walked back as fast as he could, but as soon as he turned the corner of the alley, the scene in front of him made Alva unable to control himself at all, leaning against the wall and vomiting violently, the man and woman who should have been here have been torn apart from human shape, like two lumps of minced meat, and there are many body parts missing.

Alva knew that he must not stay here for long, if the monster came back it would also become the same fate as the people on the ground, he didn't care about anything, wiped his mouth with his sleeve fiercely, and ran hard, the alleys behind Hurlis were in all directions, like spider webs all over the edge of the city, but Alva grew up here, and Alva was very familiar with every grass and tree here, and he found a route that was the farthest away from his home, this route drew a big arc around the city of Hurlis, and the only reason why Alva chose this route was that this route was the farthest away from the place where Alva was hiding just now。

It was already dark when Alva walked to his door, so many things had happened that night, Alva didn't even want to take another step, he just wanted to fall asleep on the bed, Alva's home was in a large residential building, the outer wall of the residential building was dilapidated, it could be seen that this building was already old, a very small apartment was like a honeycomb crowded every part of the building, one door after another, Alva's house lived on the fifth floor, he pushed open the green door that had been a little painted, Alva entered the house, the moment he closed the door, he leaned against the door, as if reborn and exhaled heavily。

It took him a long time to come to his senses, Alva rubbed his face vigorously, and quietly walked into the house, Alva's home was extremely narrow, and the old furniture was piled up in almost every place, but there was a black and white photo on the cabinet at the door, which was a man in a straight military uniform, the man had a very similar appearance to Alva, as if he was a mature Alva, Alva walked through the photo frame a little tiredly, rubbed the ash on the photo frame slightly, and whispered "Dad, I'm back"

After greeting his father, Alva did not return to his room, but went straight to the kitchen, boiled up the porridge, Alva skillfully cooked a bowl of porridge, the rice and water were placed very accurately, just a bowl, Alva blew slightly, and walked to another room with this bowl of porridge, a woman with a disgraced face was lying on the bed, Alva sat on the chair next to the bed and put the porridge on the small cabinet at the head of the bed and said, "Mom, I'm done eating, I'm going to class"

The woman opened her eyes slightly, nodded, Alva helped the woman leaning against the bed, and put the only bowl of porridge in the woman's hand, the woman touched Alva's head, and said hoarsely, "Xiaowa, take a good class" Alva smiled cheerfully, got up and walked out, he finally returned to his room, Alva's room was spotlessly cleaned, the bed was flat, and there was no temperature at all, Alva rubbed his eyebrows, picked up the schoolbag on the chair and walked straight out of the house, and said goodbye to his father before closing the door.

Alva, who walked out of the house, took a deep breath, smiled at the sun that had just appeared, and walked down the stairs, but if anyone could see Alva's back at this time, anyone could see how heavy this young man's back was.

The morning light that had just risen also shone on Luo Mu's face, Luo Mu opened his eyes slightly, he fell asleep on the rattan chair last night, at the moment he was covered with a windbreaker, the morning sun was slightly dazzling, Luo Mu subconsciously covered it slightly with his hand, but there was a figure standing in front of him.

Luo Mu put down his hand, sat up, Miao Yun interjected his hand a little angrily and said, "Introduction, my name is Miao Yun" Luo Mu nodded, lifted his clothes, Miao Yun stretched out a hand, holding a cup in his hand, the cup was a cup of slightly cold water, Luo Mu naturally took it, Miao Yun knew almost all Luo Mu's preferences and habits, Luo Mu never drank hot water, and Miao Yun also knew that after sleeping on the rattan chair for a night, Luo Mu would definitely be thirsty when he got up in the morning.

Miao Yun watched Luo Mu finish drinking the water by himself, and naturally handed it to Miao Yun, Miao Yun rolled his eyes, took the empty cup, and took the lead in walking towards the room, leaving a graceful back, Miao Yun's angry voice came over, "Breakfast is ready, I'll wait for you on the second floor"

Bank and Miao Yun were waiting for Luo Mu to come over to eat together at the dining table, Miao Yun crossed his hands and put his chin on the back of his hand, not knowing what he was thinking, Bank was already used to such an early morning, holding a Kelvo morning newspaper and watching, yesterday's big event in the Eye of Hurlis almost occupied the headlines of all the newspapers.
