The subscription is less than 30, and the anti-theft is half a day away. Please make up the subscription to support the genuine version. Thank you Sai Lulu. She has a rare last name: Sai. Fortunately, her parents did not name her Sai Jinhua in a vulgar way, but chose a nice word. Sound name: Lulu, it's a pity that such a good name doesn't sound right when put together.

Celluloid, Cellululu, it sounds good when you say it, and it looks cute when you write it, but when you look at the meaning of the name, it makes people frown. Why? Take a look at the explanation below:

"When pyrolignin is dissolved in a mixture of ethanol and methane, and camphor is added and evaporated, a substance will be obtained. It becomes soft when heated and hardens when cooled. This substance is called celluloid, and it came out in 1865. The first man-made plastics”.

Yes, it's plastic. What a good name it is, it becomes plastic, but celluloid doesn't care, as long as it sounds nice and rhymes.

Cellulu is a very nervous and optimistic girl. She doesn't pay too much attention to the life around her, nor does she care much about her own life. She always feels that time flies by day by day, and she always makes troubles about what day it is or what day it is today. It's an oolong joke, she is extroverted to acquaintances but introverted to strangers; according to adults, this girl is careless, always living one day at a time, has no plans for the future, is not motivated, and will not be able to survive in society.

Of course, Cellululu never cares about such a statement. For an ordinary person, she is called self-aware. Since she is not a genius, nor is she a genius in some field, then the natural trajectory of life is foreseeable, just like most people. , follow the wishes of your parents to go to school, study, go to college, find a good job, marry a good man, then have a child and raise her to be an adult, live a long life, and end your short and ordinary life, even if you don't care, If you don’t work hard, life will still go on, and Celluloid never doubts this.

But young people, after all, have dreams. Occasionally, Cellululu also fantasized about becoming a scientist, a big star, a rich man, and marrying into a rich family. Such unrealistic fantasies, but dreams are just that. Sweet dreams.

However, such an ordinary Celluloid actually has an extraordinary side. After nearly losing her life due to a serious illness at the age of fourteen, Celluloid discovered that she gradually had superpowers. As time went by, her superpowers It is also getting stronger and wider, just like Princess Li Ying of Dingguo Guangyu in "The Grudge", Mori Shenglei in "Ibis Colored Triangle", and the Kobayakawa sisters in "Moon Shadow on the Coast", celluloid Able to fly, teleport, telepathize, have telekinesis, travel through objects, control water, etc.

At first, Cellulu was very excited about having superpowers. After confirming and practicing the types, scope and limits of her powers, she calmed down and decided to Seal her ability and never use it again. For the unambitious Cellululu, she neither wanted to be studied as a monster nor became the savior of the world, so she carefully kept this secret.

For Cellululu, this was just an episode in life. After a slight deviation, her life returned to the normal track of an ordinary person, so she continued to read her books and go to her university with peace of mind. , after I came out, I found a job with low salary and "moonlight" every month. From time to time, I accepted the urging of my family to get married and go on blind dates. My life was neither moist nor difficult. In the blink of an eye, Cellululu became an older girl. .

The heartless Celluloid is a slight otaku, always obsessed with anime and other things that are regarded as children's stuff. She was often criticized and scolded by her teachers and parents when she was in school. She has not forgotten this interest since she entered the society. Others jokingly call her a child who will not grow up, but Cellululu herself always boasts that she is forever eighteen years old. With her young face, it is no problem to pretend to be a middle school student.

However, fate does not depend on people's will. In other words, fate always likes to contradict people. When Cellululu reached the advanced age of 29, even though she was heartless, she began to realize that the eyes around her were a bit... No, the relatives and friends who used to tease her about her ten thousand-year-old baby face all started looking at her strangely.

29-year-old Cellululu, her face and figure still look the same as they did fifteen years ago. The photos taken in the fifteen years since she was fourteen clearly reflect the time on Cellululu's relatives and friends. The passage of time, but time seems to have missed the celluloid alone. Even if the people around her grow, mature, and get older year by year, the celluloid in reality and the celluloid in the photo have not changed, maintaining her. With the appearance of fourteen years old, it was already clear at this point that time on celluloid had stopped. Although it later turned out that time had not stopped but had become stuck. Just like a jammed record, time on celluloid would always be at fourteen. A certain period of time goes on in an endless cycle.

After her parents were worried and sad, they began to take her to the hospital for check-ups. However, the results were naturally disappointing. All indicators showed that Celluloid did not have any physical diseases, and the indexes were normal. The reason for her immortality was unknown. Of course, This phenomenon has attracted great attention from the hospital. After all, immortality is a human dream. After experiencing several such medical treatments, Celluloid's situation naturally attracted the interest and attention of the society.

Numerous reports have painstakingly tracked Cellululu’s life, from her experience at the age of fourteen to her current life, her parents’ circumstances, workplace, comments from colleagues and relatives, and the circumstances of three generations of her ancestors. Every situation, no matter how small, no matter whether it is of value or not, is reported in newspapers. Soon, Cellulu and her parents have to quit their jobs and hide at home in order to avoid the media and unknown people. Even so, life is difficult. Before calming down, major hospitals, scientific research institutions, and famous financial groups came to their homes one after another, willing to provide free money and efforts to solve the celluloid problem. Of course, this is a nice superficial statement, but in fact it is the life of a little white mouse. There is always a crowd of people waiting outside the gate of Lulu's house. Some of the fanatical people regard Cellululu as a devil, while others think she is a god. After all, the water is deep, and there are all kinds of people.

Cellululu never thought of using her superpower to solve this matter. After all, no matter how strong a person is, there is a limit. How can it be worth the madness and overwhelming support of everyone? What's more, if she fails, what will happen to her? There will be greater threats and further madness. Even if they have abilities, individuals are insignificant in front of the collective. Human beings have always been the most hostile to unknown power.

In such an atmosphere, the parents' nerves gradually began to weaken and the pressure they endured became more and more intense. For Cellululu, she was also uncomfortable.

Cellulu is just an ordinary person. She has never spoken in front of more than fifteen people in her life. She has never been in the limelight since she was a child. The few defense meetings and oral speeches required by the university were also like this. When completing a task, he bows his head and backs up wildly without looking at anyone, never makes eye contact with anyone, and immediately disappears after speaking. If he is occasionally asked to give an impromptu speech, it will definitely be a model of incomprehensible and incomprehensible speech.

Getting a job is like fishing in troubled waters. The work unit is a typical idle retirement unit. Even a high school student can do everything that needs to be done. The lives of strong women and elites have always been far away from celluloid. They are at home and work at two o'clock every day. There are only a handful of people who have to explain things back and forth between units.

Cellululu, who has never been on a big stage and has never seen the world, is facing so many media and so many people with different purposes, malicious, well-intentioned, inquisitive, curious and hypocritical. , all kinds of people who came to see her almost collapsed. She had never been so scared and hated why she was so different. The focus of everyone was never Celluloid's pursuit. She just wanted to be a A mediocre person just lives his life like an ordinary person.

Parents' love is selfless, so their parents never thought of abandoning Celluloid or handing over Celluloid to those so-called scientific research institutions. Celluloid also loves her parents, so she won't say that you will be better off if I die. He made such silly remarks, but people have their limits after all. In such a life with no end and no exit in sight, parents can't stand it anymore.

After another day of bombardment, the two of them looked at each other and came to Cellululu as if they had made up their minds. Without any extra words, Cellululu also made a decision. There is no point in living this kind of life.

After the family of three became enlightened, the three of them had a happy meal together. During the meal, their parents kept recalling the happy times in the past and the interesting things about Cellululu's childhood. Cellululu also kept laughing in cooperation. , act coquettishly occasionally, as if life has never changed, just like every dinner time before the accident.

After the meal, the family of three each took a bath, put on their best and most solemn clothes, and after tidying up, the father turned on the gas valve at home, and the family of three sat on the sofa, holding hands tightly. They held each other tightly, overlapped each other, and continued the unfinished conversation at the dinner table, as if they wanted to finish talking about their lifetime experiences. The occasional laughter made it impossible to imagine that they were going to die.

Slowly, Sai Lulu's consciousness gradually blurred, and she could no longer speak. Her parents had stopped talking just now and closed their eyes. I don't know if they had already taken a step ahead. Before losing consciousness, Sai Lulu looked at her parents and shed tears. With her last strength, she struggled and said to her parents.

"I'm sorry, thank you, I love you, dad and mom."

There are still unfinished words that remain in my heart and can no longer be spoken.

This is just an ordinary room, and the decoration is very simple. However, the style does not look like a hospital ward, but rather like being in a room in an ordinary house. He lowered his head and looked at the bandages all over his body and his body with only a pair of underwear left. Knight He knew someone should have saved him.

He was the only one in the room, the surroundings were quiet, and he didn't feel the presence of anyone outside the room. The person who saved him must have gone out. The knight speculated that since there was no danger for the time being, his body really needed to rest. Therefore, the knight relaxed his body and slowly lay down on the bed. The knight thought about the cause and effect and the current situation. His physical condition was full of doubts in his heart. According to his injuries, he should definitely die, but now he is alive and well.

He was blocked on the way back to Meteor Street. Although the brigade is a whole, when not on missions, the members all work independently. The knight has been there since he participated in the mission of stealing white fire four months ago. In a state of idleness, he wandered around several cities. After a few months of loose life, he finally decided to go back to Meteor Street to hibernate for a while. When passing by Bansai, he was stopped in the suburbs.

There were about ten people blocking him, all of them were telekinesis users, and most of them were invited bounty hunters. The leader clamored for revenge, and made impassioned speeches, and the knight was naturally I didn't listen to what the other party said at all, and I couldn't remember it anyway. Did the brigade kill too many people? It was simply impossible to remember the people he had killed one by one, so he just carefully assessed the situation, judged his own chances of winning, and looked at the fluctuations of thought power in those on the other side, although not surging and pure, but still quite solid and vigorous. The knight I secretly feel bitter in my heart, today's fun is so exciting.

The Phantom Troupe is an A-level thieves group. Even though the value of individual members may even rise to S-level due to the difficulty of capturing them, as long as they are a member of the troupe, their worth will not be lower than A-level. The bounty for an A-level wanted criminal can feed and drink comfortably for a lifetime. It is obvious that those bounty hunters are attracted by the rewards of the hirers and also for the high bounty on themselves.

Although they are all members of the brigade, it does not mean that everyone in the brigade has the same combat effectiveness. Because the mind system is different, the combat effectiveness they can exert is also uneven. As a knight of the operation system, The intensity of his physical exercise is limited, and he is responsible for logistics work such as intelligence collection and planning assistance, which results in him spending much more time using his brainpower than physical strength. Therefore, his close combat is not very strong.

Looking at the dozen or so people with strong telekinesis abilities in front of him, the knight was already prepared for the worst. The members of the brigade all fought alone. The knight also had such pride. This was a reflection of his own strength. With such confidence, casually interfering in other people's battles can only be seen as distrust and contempt for his companions, so he will not ask for help from his companions. Of course, even if he asks for help, he may not be able to survive until his companions arrive.

But no matter how bad his close combat skills are, he is still a member of the brigade, an A-level thief. In terms of the strength of a telepathic user, he is still a master at the top. Want to catch him? Can! But that must be exchanged for one's own life! Even if he might die here today, that would be after sending everyone to hell!

The knight who was in a disadvantageous situation decided to take advantage of the situation before the other party knew about his telekinesis ability. He inserted two antennas into two of them at once, controlled them to attack the other accomplices, and he also pounced on them. The bounty hunter who was caught off guard reacted very slowly. The knight successfully killed five or six people, but the other party was not a vegetarian. He quickly adjusted and killed the two people he controlled, and together they surrounded the knight.

The knight who was attacked from both sides quickly became scarred. He had no choice but to use the self-operation mode, which could greatly increase his strength instantly, but his opponent was not weak either. After killing the last person with great effort, he dragged The dilapidated body left the scene. After all, it was dangerous to stay at the scene. He was not sure whether the other party would have reinforcements. After running to a small forest, the knight who had released the self-control mode was so tired that he could not even lift a finger. Originally, The self-control mode has strong side effects, and he will not use it unless necessary. In addition, he was seriously injured, and now he didn't even have the energy to make a phone call to contact his companions.

Falling to the ground weakly, the knight knew that he was probably going to be in trouble today. He knew very well how serious the injuries on his body were. The wounds on the surface that were deep enough to show the bones were nothing more than trivial matters. Even the wound on his thigh where the artery was severed, He wouldn't take it lightly, and he could temporarily stop the bleeding with his mind power. But the worst thing is that those telekinesis users just now actually have the telekinesis ability for the purpose of harming the inside of the body. The knight has been hit by several attacks. Injuries to internal organs are something that even telekinesis users are powerless to do. It is impossible to cover all the internal organs with telekinesis. Feeling the terrible condition inside his body, the knight couldn't help but smile bitterly. Internal visceral rupture and massive bleeding meant he was in a stable state of death. It looked like he was going to be punished here today.

Knights are not afraid of death, and no one born in Meteor Street is afraid of death. Every day life is a bloody life of walking on the edge of a knife, and you are always with death. In Meteor Street, being alive is your luck and your strength. He died just because he was not strong enough. The knight naturally integrated this rule into his own flesh and blood, so he did what he wanted to do as he pleased, and when death came, he could accept it happily, not to mention killing One was enough, and now he has killed more than a dozen, which are all worth the price, so the knight is just waiting for death calmly.

After that, he lost consciousness. When he woke up again now, the knight felt the condition of his body. There was no discomfort at all inside his body. It was as if his internal organs had never been injured and there were no abnormalities. The wounds on the outside were also carefully examined. He was bandaged up, but he didn't know who saved him or how long it had been since that day. The knight kept guessing, but he had no clue.

The knight who couldn't understand couldn't help but fell asleep again under the strong protest of his body. After an unknown amount of time, he heard a slight sound coming from outside, like the sound of a key opening the door. The next second, there was a sound in the air. With the smell of a stranger, the knight immediately opened his eyes alertly. It must be that the owner of the house is back. The people outside seemed to be busy with something and did not come into the knight's room.

The knight waited quietly. It was best to stop now. No matter what the purpose of this person was to save him, since he was not allowed to die, at least there would not be much danger for the time being. While he was deep in thought, he heard soft footsteps approaching his room.

The person outside the door is a young woman. I wonder if she is the one who saved him? Based on the frequency of the other person's walking and the sound of his voice, the knight could easily deduce the main characteristics of the person outside the door.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the knight closed his eyes. It might be better to pretend to be unconscious now. If the other party has any conspiracy, he can speak the truth to the unconscious person. In case of need to fight back, facing the unconscious person People who are unconscious will also have lower defenses against the other party. With their current physical condition, it is easier to succeed only if they are caught by surprise.
