In the vast white mist, light gradually emerged.

As the sun shè (shè), the sky began to clear, and these lights dispelled the white fog and shone the shadows of the buildings on the ground.

It's a peaceful town.

At least on the surface.

And in a dark corner of the town (yīn), two young boys were punching and kicking a man on the ground.

"You can't steal a loaf of bread, so don't live on the ground!"

"We both picked you out of the garbage, and you couldn't do any of it?"

In the midst of the angry scolding of the two, the person on the ground appeared to be a little girl of 7 or 8 years old, curled up trembling with dirty rags on her dirty rags.

"What are you doing?"

At that moment, a voice came, and the two boys looked back at the two boys, only to see a tall man walking in, glaring at them.

"I ......"

The two boys were also little beggars, and they had no skills other than bullying the little girl, and they usually lived by stealing chickens and dogs.

Now that they suddenly saw such a person appear in front of them, they subconsciously thought that the store they had stolen just now was looking for trouble, and the two children, who were not very old, were suddenly frightened, and they no longer cared about the girl at their feet, and ran away.

When the man saw the two of them fleeing, he walked slowly in front of the girl, and saw that she was still curled up in a ball, (shēn) covered in dirty shoe prints, and his heart ached.

"It's all right. ”

Hearing the man's voice, the little girl's hands that had been blocking her eyes trembled violently, and she slowly took them down, but in the dark alley (yīn), she couldn't see the man's appearance in front of her clearly.

"Right...... Sorry ......"

"What?"

The man obviously didn't expect that the little girl in front of him would apologize.

"I ...... I was so hungry that I went...... I'm really sorry to steal the buns from you......"

Did you mistake me for a thug at that store......

The man scratched his head, helpless, he took a cloth bag from his bosom, opened it, and stretched it out in front of the girl.

"Come, eat. ”

The girl's nose twitched slightly, and she could clearly smell a (ròu) incense.

After a while, the buns in the cloth bag were eaten by the girl.

"Thank you...... You, big brother. ”

Big Brother ...... It's an interesting name.

The man sat on the ground beside him, looked at the girl who had regained some strength, and asked tentatively, "What's your name?"

"I, I call the bell, the bell of the bell. ”

The little girl seemed to be a little scared, and she shrank in the corner and didn't dare to approach.

"Don't you have a surname?"

"No, no ......"

After a short conversation, there was a brief dead silence in the alley.

Suddenly, the man raised his head and looked at the sky, as if he had noticed something.

"It's time for me to go. ”

The little girl who was squatting on the ground raised her head suddenly, looked at the big brother who still couldn't see his face clearly, her lips moved, and it seemed that it took a lot of courage before she spoke: "You...... Can you take me away?"

"Take you away?"

The man smiled helplessly, squatted down (shēn), and touched the girl's head.

"I'm sorry...... I probably can't at the moment. ”

As soon as these words came out, the look in the girl's eyes dimmed a little.

"But we'll meet again, trust me, one day, I'll take you away. ”

Seeing the girl's lost appearance, the man seemed to be a little unbearable, took his hand down, and stretched out a little thumb.

"I promise, yes, don't believe it. ”

"Pull Hook?"

The girl's dusty face revealed a hint of doubt (qíng).

"Well, pulling the hook, that is, the little fingers of the two parties hook each other, in my hometown, that is a sign of commitment. ”

The man nodded, moved his little finger, and motioned for the girl to come and make an appointment with him.

The girl looked at the finger in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and trembled and stretched out her little hand and hooked the little finger.

"Come and learn from me, hang yourself with a hook, and you won't change for a hundred years. ”

Seeing the girl's small hands, the man finally laughed.

"Pull ...... Tick on ...... Hanging ......"

The girl's faint voice sounded in the alley.

“...... For a hundred years, no change is allowed. ”

The man's voice and the girl's voice were synchronized, and in this dark alley, the two hands were hooked together.

"Damn, is it time......"

The girl didn't know if it was her own delusion, and the moment the two of them let go of their hands, the shadow of the man in front of her seemed to tremble.

"Well, see you next time. ”

After saying this, the man quickly got up (shēn) and left, disappearing at the mouth of the alley.

And the girl still held the hooked hand, looked at the alley where there was no longer a shadow of a man (shēn), and muttered, "A hundred years...... Can't you change?"

Not long after, a man wearing a grimace mask passed by this alley, and suddenly stopped at the mouth of the alley and looked inside.

"Huh? This breath ......."

..................

"Bell!"

The two short knives collided together, and I saw two (shēn) shadows flying up and down in an open space.

With the sound of another collision, the two girls in the field have separated.

"Suzu, it's me winning again!"

A blonde girl about 14 years old looked at the black-haired girl in front of her, and the corners of her mouth rose to prove that she was happy at the moment (qíng).

“......”

The black-haired girl named Suzu also smiled and said softly, "Sister Beve's skills are good, so I am naturally inferior." ”

As soon as the words fell, the blonde girl's son pounced on her (shēn), and the knife was thrown on the ground.

I saw her holding Suzu's (shēn) body with both hands, and kept rubbing her head against Suzu's face.

"Xiao Ling is still so good (ài) ......"

Feeling the childish behavior of the girl in her arms, the knife in Suzu's hand also fell to the ground, and she reached out helplessly to touch her blonde hair: "Sister Bev...... You don't have to be like this all the time. ”

"But, Suzu, there's something I want to teach you. ”

The blonde girl suddenly raised her head from Suzu's arms, revealing a serious face (qíng).

“？”

The black-haired girl showed a hint of confusion (qíng).

"Suzu, don't always use all your strength......"

Bev was lying in Suzu's arms, but her eyes were on the knife that Suzu had dropped on the ground.

Notch in the knife...... Sure enough, it's less than my own.

"Sister Beve, I'...... I didn't have ......"

Hearing the blonde girl's words, Suzu's face changed slightly, and she was about to refute, but her mouth was blocked by Beve's outstretched index finger

"Don't quibble, huh?"

The blonde girl sighed and broke free from Suzu's arms.

"You should understand what this place is. ”

"I ......"

Looking at Bev, who walked over to pick up the knife, Suzu's mouth opened slightly, but she didn't know what to say.

"No, you're obviously better than me...... But never show it. ”

Bev walked over again and picked up the knife next to the bell (shēn). Position it in front of the black-haired girl.

“......”

Suzu's head was slightly lowered, and (shēn) Zi was also trembling slightly, not knowing what to say.

"We are all ...... The one that my father brought back is going to exist as a sharp knife for the organization in the future, and if you always tolerate it like this, and if you don't do your best, I don't know what will happen......

As if comforted, Bev threw the two knives back to the ground and held Suzu's shoulders.

"You know, there are many people like us, my father let us survive, but it may not always be like this, you must not take it lightly!"

"Hmm...... I see, Sister Beve. ”

At this time, a (shēn) shadow appeared on the field.

"Father. ”

Two respectful greetings, the two of them looked at the ghost-faced man at the same time and said.

"How's the practice?"

The ghost-faced man looked at the traces of the battle around the arena and nodded with some satisfaction.

"I'm still not as good as ......"

As soon as Suzu spoke, Bev suddenly interrupted her.

"Suzu's strength is already stronger than mine!"

"Huh?"

The ghost-faced man's voice was a little surprised, and he looked down at the blonde girl in front of him, and there seemed to be a hint of murder in his eyes.

Feeling the murderous aura of the ghost-faced man, Beve's words froze suddenly, but she spoke again: "But for some reason, she has not been able to use her full strength, so I have always won ......"

Looking at the blonde girl whose face was still very immature, and although she was a little afraid of herself, but insisted on saying these words, the ghost-faced man suddenly laughed in a low voice.

"Father?"

Bev looked at the ghost-faced man with some confusion, she didn't know why the ghost-faced man laughed, only that the majestic momentum of the previous shēn suddenly disappeared, and she didn't have much pressure anymore.

"Good, good...... Hahaha. ”

Ghostface patted Bev on the head, laughed and walked away.

"What the hell happened to my father?"

Bev looked at the ghost-faced man's back and tilted her head in confusion.

And Suzu stood behind, looking at the backs of the two, and the heart (qíng) was unusually complicated.

Night.

Suzu stood in front of the stake, slashing at the stake in front of her one by one.

As she moved faster and faster, her panting became more and more rapid.

Finally, she made a mistake, and the dagger accidentally fell out of her hand and flew to the ground in the distance.

"Ha, ha, ha......"

Suzu sat down on the ground, gasping for air, her eyes blurred from exertion.

What's the point of me working so hard?

She held up her arms, and her hands trembled slightly from exertion.

"Did this young lady lose this knife?"

At this moment, a voice reached her ears.

"Who!"

Suzu jerked herself to her feet and assumed a defensive stance.

In the dark night, a figure walked over slowly, and in his hand, he still held the short knife that had just been thrown away.

"Long time no see, Suzu. ”

It's you!

Suzu's pupils widened slightly.

Although she still couldn't see the appearance of the man in front of her clearly, this voice was not unfamiliar, and when it sounded for the second time, she knew who the man in front of her was.

A few years ago, when he was beaten and was about to starve to death, it was he who appeared to drive away the group of people and gave him food, that voice, he will never forget.

"Looks like you remember me. ”

The man seemed happy and walked up to the stake.

"You...... How did you get in, it's a very secret place. ”

Suzu is no longer the girl of a few years ago, at this time she looked at the man in front of her who did not know the origin, and asked with some vigilance.

"Woo woo, does Suzu suspect that the big brother is a suspicious person?"

Unexpectedly, the man in front of him suddenly wiped his tears, and there was a hint of crying in his voice.

"No, no, no...... No. ”

The man's movements made Suzu panic as soon as he hit it.
